About this Event
Date & Time: Sunday, Oct 11, 2026 | 9:00 AM
Location: Dripping Springs Rd.
Explore the La Cueva trail ! Join us for a scenic 3-mile round-trip hike beginning at the Arroyo Trailhead, located in the Pincin Parking Lot on Dripping Springs Road.
We’ll follow the Arroyo Trail as we make our way toward La Cueva, a fascinating destination tucked into the desert landscape.
One of the highlights: La Cueva is a great area to look for pottery fragments and other signs of the people who once traveled through and lived in this landscape. We’ll practice responsible exploration by observing and photographing any artifacts we find and leaving everything exactly where it is.
