Join Travis County Balcones Canyonlands Preserves' volunteer hike guides Jannelle and Skip for a hike on the Canyon Loop trail at Grandview Hills. The trail winds approximately 2.8 miles along hillsides and small canyons of closed canopy woodlands for which the Balcones Canyonlands are named for, and finishes off with a look into one of our shelter caves. It's easy to moderately difficult, with some steep hills and uneven ground.

The BCP is one of the nation’s largest urban preserves, covering more than 33,000 acres in western Travis County – about 50 square miles. It is made up of more than 140 individual tracts managed by both public and private partners. The BCP was created in 1996 and continues to protect habitat for seven endangered species and other species of concern found on the preserve. Learn more about the BCP here.

Please wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes, long pants, and bring water, sun protection, and any needed allergy medications. If you have not joined us on the Travis County BCP for an event in the past, please fill out and submit a digital liability waiver.

We will meet at the preserve gate at the end of Wilson Parke Ave. where it meets Muir Parke Pass.
