Hike And Brewery Tour/Tasting in Ft Worth! Hike: easy to moderate

Let's hike, have lunch, and hit a local Texas brewery! Arrive at 8:45 AM at the Hardwick Interpretive Visitors Center (there is a larger parking lot there). We will carpool to the trailhead at 9:00 AM. I have not decided which trails we'll do yet, but it will not be the same one as last time. HIKE STATS: Meeting Time: 8:45 AM Hike Distance: up to 6 miles Estimated Hike Time: 3 hours Difficulty: Moderate (Easy if you shorten your hike) Trip Leader: Tanr Cost: $4 admission Dogs? Yes, if leashed FWNC entrance fee is $4. Be sure to pick up a trail map at the gatehouse so you can find the Greer Island parking area. If you have time, there is a nice gift shop and some interesting displays at the Hardwick Interpretive Visitor Center. http://www.fwnaturecenter.org/ http://74.54.176.162/~fwnc/docs/map/Trail_Map.pdf After the hike we'll take an afternoon brewery tour and beer tasting at Fort WorthÂÂ's award winning Rahr Brewery. The brewery is just south of downtown and open to the public from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. While TexasÂÂ' uniquely confounding alcohol laws prohibit the sale of beer at the brewery, they will sell you a nice souvenir pint glass for $5 and fill it three times for free with whatever beer you want to sample. They usually have live music and they serve barbecue. Sadly, no dogs are allowed at the brewery. http://rahrbrewery.com/ http://rahrbrewery.com/brewery
