GOVERNMENT CANYON SNA—Join dedicated volunteers for a special holiday edition of our regular First Saturday Hike at Government Canyon State Natural Area (SNA) near San Antonio on Saturday.
Join dedicated volunteers for an informative and fun hike at Government Canyon SNA.
Knowledgeable guides will discuss the flora, fauna, natural and cultural history of Government Canyon State Natural Area. This hike recurs most months, but the length of hike and interpretive topic(s) will vary depending on the group.
Open to ages 10 and older. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. No pets please. Meet at the rainwater harvesting tower at the Visitor Center.
Program reservations are not required.
Though the hike is free, entrance fees to the natural area do apply. The front gates open at 7 a.m. and the hike begins promptly at 8 a.m. Plan to arrive early as Saturday mornings can be very busy.

Plan to be at the visitor center no later than 7:45 a.m. The hike starts promptly at 8.
