Discover the beauty, history, and natural wonders of Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge on the Martin Tract Guided Hike and practice your photography. This 2.9-mile hike follows an old two-track ranch road through the Texas Hill Country, offering long-ranging views and opportunities to explore the plants, wildlife, geology, and habitats that make the refuge unique. With approximately 300 feet of elevation gain, the trail features a combination of smooth and rocky surfaces with several short, steeper inclines. The route is mostly unshaded and is considered a moderate-level hike, making it an excellent introduction to the refuge for new to intermediate hikers who are comfortable walking on uneven terrain and moderate inclines.
