The combination didn't work. You go to all this effort to get a reservation and can't get in

Nice downhill hike that turns into a strenuous uphill hike heading back. Absolutely gorgeous surroundings though and not crowded at all.

Not super impressed to us, particularly after we finished hiking at lady bird. We found LB more interesting and dynamic. We spent about two hours to finish the entire tall trees trial, including the loop. There are a lot of up and down paths, so make sure to manage your pace and allocate energy evenly.
