No matter how many 100°+ days there were this summer, Fort Worth has so many options to hit the trail. So lace up your hiking boots, because we’ve compiled a hiking guide for the Fort Worth area with 15 routes and paths to help you plan your next adventure and experiencebreathtaking views.
Editor’s note: While parks and trails may be listed as open, we recommend checking park websites before visiting for further info, current trail conditions, and the safest practices for the area.
Considered one of the best family-friendly parks in Cowtown, this trail is largely paved and accessible in the heart of Fort Worth. A relatively easy hike, Airfield Falls only rises 52 feet across two miles.

Great job to 53.1% of our readers who guessed the correct price tag of Haggard the steer of $181,000. I wonder if this year’s steer will out-sell Haggard.
