Houston Arboretum & Nature Center

Actually, we did a guided hike with a group called Bayou City Outdoors. They can be found on FB. The hike was at night and it was approx 2.8 miles. Our group was a decent size, like about, 30ppl. The trail was good, some mounds to hump over but nothing that couldn't be done. Although, the trail is not a flat trail by no means. Some of our guest did need assistance but they did it successfully. Overall great hike, with some cool scenery. Enjoy the pix. Btw, it's a public pay parking so you can use the "Park Houston" app to pay or on site at location.

A great place to walk and see nature happen while it's happening. Native plants growing with trails throughout that are easy to navigate. I used my maps app to make sure I really wanted take a certain trail or not. Little areas to stop and read and there is a nice lake with seats. Awesome kiddie area and a building with souvenirs and learning centers. Entry is free but parking is about 5 dollars.

This is a beautiful place to visit while in the Downtown area! It is a well designed nature park with ample parking if you come early in the day. I did not visit the Nature Center on this trip, instead I came to simply walk the trails and soak in some sunlight. The trails are easy to access from the parking area and there are shorter trails and longer ones. I enjoy the views and the wildlife! A memorable part of Downtown Houston.
