To celebrate Earth Day this year we are pleased to highlight a gem of the Texas hill country. The Canyon Lake Gorge, carved by a historic flood in 2002, is a sprawling 64 acre canyon with exposed cretaceous limestone, fossils, and dinosaur footprints! It is a textbook example highlighting hill country geology and the exposed Trinity Aquifer, clearly showing faults, fractures, and seeps in the limestone. Limestone layers created from an ancient sea are also visible, and visitors admire waterfalls and springs where the aquifer is exposed.
Enjoy A1C Mitchell Powers performing Girl With the Flaxen Hair by Claude Debussy, and be sure to stop by when you're in the area!
