Another mile of the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River Greenway trail opened this past Monday, July 2, 2012. This new section extends the trail south from the Mission Rd trailhead to the VFW Blvd trailhead.

As one of the signs along the trail points out, this is the largest river ecosystem restoration project in the U.S. Once again, congratulations to all the staff at the San Antonio River Authority on all they have accomplished on this project thus far. They have made great strides in creating a remarkable transformation along the river.

This new section of the river trail provided the perfect location for my walk on this July 4th, Independence Day holiday. I will present more details in tomorrow's post.
