Connect to the Canyon

  • Government Canyon 12861 Galm Road San Antonio, TX, 78254 United States (map)

Is the world too loud and busy for you? Need to unwind? Ready to slow down? Want to reconnect with nature? If this is you, then join us on a quiet, minimal talking, slow-paced 2.5 mile hike where we connect with nature through our seven senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, movement and body position. Along the way, we will stop to sit and reflect on our connection with the Earth.

Who is Invited…

Hike is open to ages 14 and older; minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No pets please.
