Awesome view, secluded, my new favorite hike

This trail is actually marked, which is unusual fo Austin trails.  Like the others have said, it is surprisingly quiet.  I like to take "night hikes," and I'd say this trail is perfect for that.  Awesome view with the "volcanic overlook." 

Good

The trail was hard to follow/figure out.  Parts of it were interesting such as a clearing with an old tractor engine and a filled in well.  The dam that wasn't damming anything was fun to walk on, and there were trails after that.  The exercise "equipment" on the main trail made it more interesting.  Overall, a fun trail worth trying, just not at night.

Worst trail i've been on in austin so far

I didn't reach the second tunnel so maybe that's why, but the smell is pretty bad, lots of trash, and the first tunnel really smelled like waste. It was very easy so that was a bonus for me though because my legs were sore from previous hikes.
