Northeast San Antonio
Most visitors come to Natural Bridge Caverns for the underground tours, but the 9-mile network of free hiking trails above ground is largely overlooked. The trails wind through cedar-oak scrub over karst limestone terrain where the cavern system below was formed. The natural stone bridge for which the attraction is named can be seen along the trail. Morning walks here are quiet and wildlife-rich.
Shade Details
Mixed cedar and live oak provides intermittent shade. The natural bridge formation itself creates a shaded overhang.
Conditions & Tips
Trails are free and accessible outside of paid cavern tour hours. Check website for trail access times. Wildlife is most active before tour buses arrive.
