Spend a morning reading and composing poetry on this special hike. We’ll be hiking about 1.25 miles on the Discovery Trail, stopping and writing along the way.
Who Is Invited:
This hike is open to ages 14 and up. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.
This is a public program intended for individuals or families. If you would like to bring a group for a program at Government Canyon, please contact the Park Interpreter at [email protected] to schedule at a different time.
Where to Meet:
Meet at the Rainwater Tower outside the Visitor Center. Lots A & B will have the closest parking. The hike will leave promptly at 2 pm, so please plan to arrive a little early. The hike on the Discovery Trail will be about 1.25 miles on a compacted crushed granite surface.
How to Prepare:
Though the activity 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 (visit https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/government-canyon). Day passes can be reserved beginning one month before the date of your visit. Please note: reserving a Day Pass does not guarantee a spot for you on the hike! The hike is limited to the first 10 participants to check-in with the hike leader.
Dress for hiking outdoors. Wear layers that can be taken on or off as the day's weather changes. Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes and bring a journal for writing. Bring a snack, at least 1 liter of water per person and a towel or pad for sitting on along the trail.
If ADA assistance is required, please request modifications by emailing [email protected] at least 2 weeks in advance.
Cancellation:
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.
