I decided to start in the same place I did last week, but take the creek part of the trail instead of going back into Cathedral Rock Park. I was surprised to find that the entire trail is finished from the split where the portion from Cathedral Rock Park will come in, all the way to Ingram Road. This area of the creek has been used for "mudding" for a long time, so there are well established vehicle trails along the creek.

I was amazed to see the extreme topography in this part of the creek. At one point, there is a sheer cliff with about a 100 foot drop to the creek.

I'm attaching a google earth file that contains the pictures I took along the way today.

Leon Creek Greenway Trail, Grissom Rd to Cathedral Rock Park

I took a little bike ride this afternoon on the newest (unfinished) part of the Leon Creek trail. This time I rode from the new trailhead (under construction) at Grissom Rd. and Leon Creek, and rode the portion that connects to Cathedral Rock Park, a little ways west on Grissom.
