Choose Your Hueco Adventure

Visitors may choose between a strenuous, moderate, or family-friendly nature hike. Each hike will accommodate 10 participants and will be led by a ranger or trained volunteer. Participants should bring a camera, water, and a backpack for their items while scrambling up or down rocks. Dress for the desert environment: sunblock, a hat, long sleeves, and hiking boots are recommended. Hiking tours are not accessible for the mobility, visually, or hearing impaired.

Reservations are required, and are taken until the tours are full. Call (915) 849-6684 for reservations and information. (If families would like to picnic or walk in the self-guided area of the park after the guided hikes, park staff recommends making reservations at 512-389-8900.) There is a $2 activity fee for ages 5 and above in addition to the $7 entrance fee for ages 13 and above. Due to the sensitive nature of the site, pets are not allowed on hikes; for their safety pets may not be left in vehicles unattended.
