Description: Editor's note: This is not a legal access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
This trail is known in Austin as the Jedi trail. It is fun to take fast and has nothing too technical. The scenery is the best during the spring.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by agroover on January 12, 2012
This trail gets a lot of traffic from bikers, hikers, runners, and people with dogs. The Hill of Life is a good downhill with several 2 ft drops onto loose rock, so be careful, a lot of single track here, but I did not see any good map and I did get turned around several times. You could spend all day out here. I wound up riding about 16 miles, but it could easily been 20+...The best part of the trail is it is so close to downtown Austin...so if you are staying in Austin...check it out and it is free.

The main trail is a fast downhill snaking through trees, but there are 2 cut outs from the main trail that wll take you into some serious techincal trail. Great 2 foot drops with some stairsteeped together. Roots, rocks, and a couple of tree trunks to hop. Watch out for the trail with the jock strap hanging from it. Big downhill that ends with a 3 1/2 foot rock step up min speed 18 to conquer.
Similar Trail: Ed's bowl on the waest side of the hill of life on the greenbelt. Dumptruck, 16 candles, and end it on the cheesegrater. Full loop to this trail can be 22 miles or 30 if you take it all the way into downtown.
