Texas Canyon Nature Preserve
Discover Amerind’s new trail system, with 8 miles of self-guided walking trails through the iconic boulder formations of Texas Canyon.
***NEW SEASONAL SCHEDULE: Texas Canyon Nature Preserve Trail System
The summer heat is on the rise, and our concerns for heat exhaustion, lightning-caused wildfires, and thunderstorms have caused us to reconsider our trail system’s annual summer closure. It has not escaped our notice that we only welcome 13 hikers on average in the months of July and August. In light of these concerns and low demand for the trail system, the Texas Canyon Nature Preserve trails will remain closed throughout the summer season and will now reopen Saturday, September 5, Labor Day weekend.
