How to reach trailhead: From MoPac, take Loop 360 exit and head west on Loop 360. Turn left at the light at the intersection of 360 and Scottish Woods Trail. The road on the other side of 360 from Scottish Woods is called Westbank. Drive down Scottish Woods Trail until you get to a T in the road. Park along the road on Scottish Woods Trail because the other roads in this area are much narrower. The entrance to the Barton Creek Greenbelt is just to the right of the T intersection of Scottish Woods Trail and Camp Craft Road on Camp Craft Road.
Please be advised this is a residential area and respond accordingly.
Bring: water, suitable shoes (rough terrain), snacks, sun protection and possibly trekking poles.
