Description
This a very unique opportunity to experience. Canyon Lake Gorge is a relatively new feature in the Hill Country as it was uncovered during the flood of 2002. It is only accessible by private tour because it is a protected natural area. It is so unique that Exxon Mobile, Texas A&M, and others are using it for research. On the tour you will see dinosaur footprints and learn about the inaccuracy of Jurassic Park. There is a wide array of fossils. You will see natural springs, fault lines, recharge zones, vegetation, etc. One of the recharge effects is a huge basin that fills with water during a rain, and the water is gone the next day. The tour guides are very knowledgeable, and you will learn a lot. One thing I found fascinating was a demonstration of the aquifer on a small scale. It makes you appreciate God's design, how we get our water, and how fragile the system really is. The tour costs $10, and there will be a liability waiver. Don't worry it is not a dangerous or strenuous hike; it's just a formality. For the tour to take place I need a MINIMUM of 10 definite yes RSVPs and a Maximum of 23. You can pay with cash on the day of or by check payable to: Gorge Preservation Society. We will meet at the Starbucks on Hwy 281 N at Loop 1604 at 11:30 a.m. for those who want to carpool. Less cars is better because we have to park where the hike ends and carpool back up to the top of the Gorge. Here is the address: 18130 U.S. Highway 281 North Suite 108 San Antonio, Texas 78232 Here are some links that show the location of the Gorge and some information about the Gorge: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2075%20FM%202673%2C%20Suite%20D%20Canyon%20Lake%2C%20Texas%2078133&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl http://www.canyongorge.org/Default.aspx For any questions or concerns email me at myron.sees@gmail.com or call me at 210-343-0427.
