Dates: Friday, January 16 – Sunday, January 18
Start the year grounded and refreshed with a winter camping and hiking weekend at Government Canyon State Natural Area. This two-night is designed for those looking to slow down, hike scenic trails, and enjoy simple, cozy camping in one of Central Texas’s most unique natural landscapes.
Explore Government Canyon’s well-maintained trail system, featuring rolling Hill Country terrain, expansive views, and opportunities to spot wildlife. Cooler January temperatures make for ideal hiking conditions, and we’ll tailor distances to the group’s comfort level.
Visit the famous dinosaur tracks preserved in the limestone creek bed—a truly special and educational highlight of the park (weather and trail conditions permitting).
Enjoy quiet nights at camp with warm meals, campfire conversations, and time to unwind under the winter sky. This trip emphasizes connection—to nature, to others, and to yourself.
