Park Entrance |
Flag Pole Hill was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) around 1938. |
The climb up to the flagpole wasn't on the official walk route. |
There wasn't an overlook, but I liked the old CCC construction. |
Ed and the flag. |
Large park pavilion. |
Rock bar-b-que pits. |
I don't normally take pictures of port-a-potties, but this one happens to be sitting in front the CCC constructed latrine. |
It was 37 degrees when we started walking. These Dallas Trekkers were dressed warmly. |
Heading down the hill. |
CCC erected this building at the bottom of the hill. |
We passed to the right of this White Rock sign. |
We took the trail under the Northwest Highway. |
Looking back at Flag Pole Hill from Lawther Drive. |
View of Lawther Drive. |
A tiny rivulet of water coming down our trail made for tricky footing here at the bottom. |
View of the Dallas skyline from the top of that hill we just climbed. |
Ed and Cathy (who was taking a picture of the skyline). |
Another shot with White Rock Lake in the foreground. |
Bob, our checkpoint volunteer, in front of the skyline. |
Some fall color brightens the trees. |
On a paved trail near the finish. |
There is that climb back up the hill. |
Passing the wall the CCC built, and we're done. |
