If you’re looking for a beautiful weekend walk in Houston, this nature-filled route shared by "CareBear" is perfect for getting in your steps while enjoying a variety of local wildlife. 🚶♂️ It’s a pleasant mix of bayou views, college grounds, and quiet residential streets.
Starting at the corner of Fairwind Drive and Moonrock Drive, you’ll make your way towards the bayou. As you cross the bridge near Falcon Pass Elementary School, keep an eye out for local wildlife such as ducks, rabbits, and even the occasional alligator! 🐊 This area is a haven for birds, with ibis, egrets, and hawks often spotted along the way.
Continuing through the back of Clear Lake High School, the walk gives you a peek into school life as you watch students playing sports or walking to class. This adds a lively touch to the otherwise peaceful surroundings. The route loops back towards the starting point, weaving through quiet neighborhood streets to reach the 5 km mark.
One highlight of the walk is a 90-degree bend in the trail, where a bench under a large tree offers a great resting spot. Sit down, take in the scenery, and maybe even spot a few more animals while you rest! 📸
For those planning to take this walk, CareBear offers some tips: avoid the summer heat of Texas, as the long stretch without shade can get intense. The best time to walk is during fall or spring, when the weather is milder. Also, be cautious of the alligators, especially if you see baby ones, as their mama is likely close by!
This walk offers a perfect combination of nature and light exercise, and the rich wildlife makes every step enjoyable. Step by step, you’ll discover something new each time you visit. Ready to explore news walks or hikes? 🚶♀️
