I'd be thrilled to be your guide to the hidden gems of San Antonio, steering you away from the well-trodden paths to discover the city's captivating natural beauty and outdoor adventures. San Antonio isn't just about the Riverwalk and historic sites; it also offers a plethora of scenic trails for hiking and biking that will leave you in awe.

McAllister Park, one of the city's largest, also offers an array of trails for both hiking and mountain biking. With trails of varying lengths and levels of difficulty, it's a great choice for everyone, from beginners to seasoned outdoor adventurers.
