There is a nice lake near one of the trailheads. (Photo by Blaze)

Good trail karma. (Photo by Blaze)

Sort of a weird, jenga kind of trail marker. (Photo by Blaze)

Really liked the creeks here. Great for dogs and people of all ages. (Photo by 2AOutdoorsman)

One of the few times I saw water on the hike (not counting the times I was pouring my bottled water all over myself) (Photo by jloop17)

Featuring the Emergency Exits in red. :-) (Photo by jtkatie)

Always a sign of great things to come when there are Emergency Exits off of the trail you are about to go on! (Photo by jtkatie)

One of the most frustrating parts of this trail... you go down dozens of steps into gullies just to go back up the other side! (Photo by jtkatie)

The trail has very well-marked distances... although the gap from 1.5-2.0 on the way up seems a LOT longer! (Photo by jtkatie)

The view from the top of the hill is quite spectacular! (Photo by jtkatie)

The beginning of one of the most strenuous sections of the trail! (Photo by jtkatie)

One of the lovely resting areas with what seem to be brand new benches (Photo by jtkatie)

As you can see, the trail is well-constructed and well-used (Photo by jtkatie)

There are many wooden bridges throughout the "Lower Panther Trail" section (Photo by jtkatie)

The northern half of the trail contains the openings in the tree cover enough to garner a view such as this one. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

Stairs, stairs and more stairs. This trail has them. There are some nice benches on which to rest as well though. (Photo by Austin Explorer)
