Join a Travis County Balcones Canyonlands Preserve's (BCP) Interpretive Hike Guide for a hike on the Collins Trail! This trek will start at our Snowden House, taking you up semi-steep terrain before wandering through gorgeous Golden-Cheeked Warbler habitat and back down into creek beds. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the preserve, the species we protect, and our mission.

The BCP is one of the nation’s largest urban preserves, covering more than 33,000 acres – about 50 square miles. It is made up of more than 140 individual tracts managed by both public and private partners. The BCP was created in 1996 and continues to protect habitat for seven endangered species and other species of concern found on the preserve.
