Weekend Public Tours

Public tours of Westcave Preserve, an ecological jewel in the crown of the Texas Hill Country are offered every Saturday and Sunday throughout the year. A tour of the Preserve takes Westcave visitors from an arid savanna, through a limestone crevice and into a spectacular sheltered canyon of lush plant life. At the head of the canyon stands Westcave, with a waterfall that tumbles over fern-covered travertine, 40 feet to the emerald pool below. Visitation is by guided tour only to minimize the impact… Show more on this beautiful and fragile natural site. The hike into the canyon and back is roughly one mile, so visitors should wear comfortable shoes. Pets are not allowed on the Preserve.
