Travel Along the Hermann Park Trail This Summer

July 24, 2017 by

The Hermann Park Trail wraps around a beautiful Houston golf course, and warm weather doesn't keep runners and golfers away. Even in 90-degree weather, residents flock to the Hermann Park Trail and the course that it surrounds. It runs about 2.5-miles throughout its namesake park, which is filled with many different things to do.

If you don't feel like going for a run or a stroll, head to the zoo. The zoo is actually housed within the park, right next to the golf course and a large lake. After exploring the zoo, stop and smell the roses (or rather, the Bonzai trees) in the Japanese gardens. Then head to the Miller Outdoor Theatre for a fresh-air concert, or meander through the trees and greenery in the park.
