Cedar Ridge Preserve

Hey Guys we’re heading out again this weekend (5/17/2014) to Cedar Ridge Preserve (7171 Mountain Creek Pkwy, Dallas, TX 75249). Plan to get to the site by 7:15 am so that we can hit the trail by 7:30 am. The temperature is expected to around 65? F – great for walking.

.
Cedar Ridge has free parking and restroom facilities. The trails are clearly marked with some cross trails that connect to main trails. Our planned walk will start with a downhill trek for about a mile to the Duck Pond. We will then be heading towards the Fossil Valley trail. This trail is a mix of uphill and downhill for about a mile. Next we connect to one of the main trails that will take us back to the preserve’s restroom facilities and parking area. The walk should be a little under 2 hours.
Tips for great hike:

.
• Comfortable “hiking” shoes / cross trainer/ trail running shoe. When choosing a shoe consider ankle support.
• Wear comfortable clothing. Preferably clothing with moister wicking fabric. utralight mircrofeece, microfiber, capilene, polartec, ultrawick, tactel, spandex, supplex, gortex, and lycra.
• Consider wearing a hat / and sun screen
• Bring along water to drink / energy bars or light snack

I look forward to seeing you all there,
