Longhorn Cavern State Park — Backbone Ridge Nature Trail

Wildlife on the Backbone Ridge Nature Trail at Longhorn Caverns State Park

Backbone Ridge Trail gets its name from Backbone Mountain, where the cavern is located. The vegetation found in this area is typical of the Oak-Juniper Hill Country of Central Texas. As you walk the nature trail you will see signs with numbers on them. Look that number up in this guide sheet and it will tell you of a point of interest at that spot.
