This steep route leads to the top of that molar of granite that many see, but only some ascend. Starting at the Ferguson Canyon Trailhead, the wide path leads to an enormous water tank. A right turn (just before the storage tank) onto a steep single track climbs to, then follows the ridge to the large rock feature called the Houndstooth. The final section is a steep gully to the summit. The steep switchbacked descent is a riot.

Nearly 31,000 acres make up your Lake County Forest Preserves. This path connects McDonald Woods to Independence Grove by following the Millennial, Grayslake, & Casey Trail. The middle of this route goes through another Lake County Forest Preserve: Rollins Savanna. The whole path is on a designed Lake County Bike Route.

Experience nature, history and community as you enjoy a run outing along Brushy Creek Regional Trail. You will find extensive natural scenic and peaceful views. The newest opening of phase V meanders along Brushy Creek for an out-and-back one-mile trek just west of Chisholm Trail Road in Round Rock.  The trail continues west of Great Oaks Drive and meanders along Brushy Creek to Twin Lakes Park in Cedar Park. https://www.traillink.com/trail/brushy-creek-regional-trail/
