It took seven years for world-renowned wildlife sculptor Robert Glen to complete this larger-than-life sized herd of wild mustangs. Since its installation in 1984, the Mustangs of Las Colinas have been among the most photographed and visited sites in North Texas. Known as the largest equestrian sculpture in the world, the mustangs are a breathtaking sight honoring both the heritage and spirit of Texas. Informative films on actual mustangs as well as the creation of the sculpture are available for viewing. Admission is free.
Meandering past the scenic Trinity River, the Trinity Skyline Trail is a thoughtfully-designed hard surface track laid against the backdrop of the busy downtown area. The mile covers a distance of 4.6 miles (7.40 kilometers) and attracts bikers and hikers from far and wide. It meets the Continental Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge, that promises some spectacular views of downtown and beyond.
