Bluff Spurs Hike

Get a bird’s-eye view of Government Canyon on this ranger-led hike.

At Government Canyon State Natural Area, it’s all about water. Learn more about the Edwards Aquifer and its recharge zone as you explore the Bluff Spurs, Sendero Balcones, and Recharge Trails in a 3.5-mile loop.

This hike is open to all ages. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please. Be aware that this hike includes some elevation gain and loss over rough, rocky topography.

Registration is NOT required for this hike. Though the hike is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass. Meet at the Visitor Center.

Dress for hiking outdoors. Wear layers that can be taken on or off as the day's weather changes. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a hat are recommended. Bring at least 2 liters of water per person and a snack.

This program is weather-dependent and subject to cancellation. Check trail conditions by calling GCSNA's main office at 210-688-9055, or go to the GCSNA webpage, Instagram, or Facebook.
