Government Canyon State Natural Area


 I have known that this place existed for several years but I have never been motivated to drive out there and visit it. It's 12,000 acres of undedeveloped land just outside of San Antonio. That fact is startling. There is so much land that I don't see how you could visit the far reaches of it on foot in the limited time it is open. They do allow mountain bikes on most of the trails so if I have a return visit that's probably what I'll do. This is the hill country, rocky limestone trails with thick juniper and oak woodlands. I was out for nearly 5 hours and did about 10 miles.  I barely scratched the surface of the hiking available.
