Because Hueco Tanks State Park is a protected natural area, only 70 people are allowed within the self-guided areas at once. This keeps the petroglyphs and pictographs in pristine condition, so you’re sure to see their beauty for years to come. Call ahead to reserve your spot to explore the park’s steep, rocky trails because the spots often fill up on the weekend. Guided tours are also available and give access to even more areas within Hueco Tanks.
The world-class climbing at Hueco Tanks State Park is a true Texas gem. People come from all over to climb, both self-guided and on tours, in the unique historical areas within the park. Because Hueco Tanks is a protected site, there are only a limited amount of self-guided climbs allowed each day, so be sure to call ahead for a reservation. Guided climbing tours grant access to more areas within the park, as well.
Birds are the species to watch for within Hueco Tanks State Park. Over 200 species have been spotted to date, so bring your binoculars to have a look for yourself. In for a more educational experience? Consider joining the monthly bird-watching tour!
