Dallas|🌳 Great Weekend Hiking Spots~
Marion Samson Park 🚗 About 45 minutes drive from Allen We chose the Lone Wolf Trail loop around the lake—some sections require using both hands and feet, so trekking poles are highly recommended. 🌳 If you can make it down to the water’s edge, the view is absolutely worth it: clear lake water and the soothing sound of waterfalls. The trail is mostly shaded, making it comfortable even in summer. 🍃Cedar Ridge Preserve Located in the Dallas suburbs, this spot is perfect for office workers looking to unwind and breathe fresh air on weekends. 🌴 The trails are well-maintained, with moderate elevation changes and decent foot traffic, so it feels safe even when hiking alone. 🌟Last week, I tackled the longest trail (1.9 miles)—fully shaded with clean air, like a "forest oxygen bar." 🌈For those seeking more challenge, try the Elevation Trail at Cedar Ridge. It’s steeper but offers open views and a glimpse of the Dallas skyline from the top. 🌞Don’t forget to bring plenty of water, as some sections are sun-exposed. #DallasLife #AroundDallas #ForestOxygenBar
