Eisenhower Park

At the footstep of Camp Bullis, in the outskirts of San Antonio sits Eisenhower park. Reportedly one of the nicer places to visit and hike around but it happens to be on the opposite side of town from me. The easiest way to get there is by taking the 1604 loop but the construction around those parts is kinda crazy so I avoid it at all costs. I happen to have the week off and my niece was in town so I thought it would be a good idea to kill a little time with her this evening and exhaust the dog a bit before I split town tomorrow.

I can confirm that the park is indeed very nice. We didn’t explore much outside of the paved paths because I’m not sure how my niece will do on hikes yet. She young and full of energy, but she isn’t a fan of walking. I’d like to get back out there and check out some of the non-paved paths but i’ll check it out when I’m on my own with Canelo. Hopefully the stars will align again and we can knock it out on a random weekday morning I have off so that I can avoid some of the traffic that builds up on 1604.

Ya know, if there’s one thing I like about hiking with someone it’s the random conversations that can kinda organically occur. My niece was surprisingly quiet on this little venture, I tasked her with holding Canelo tightly on a leash and took the responsibility pretty seriously. I didn’t tell her about the Tower at the park so that was a little surprise. Her only observation was that “I can see where I get my eyebrows done from here”.
