Tandy Hills Natural Area
One of the last patches of untouched native prairie in North Texas, right on the edge of downtown Fort Worth. In spring the wildflower displays are spectacular, with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush carpeting the hillsides. Kids love scrambling up the hills for the panoramic skyline views from the top, and the trails are short enough that even less enthusiastic hikers can handle the full loop. A playground and picnic area near the trailhead round out the visit.
