Hueco Tanks Hike – October 2013


This was a trip we took with the Las Cruces Southwest Environmental Center as part of their “Back by Noon” outings program. The trip included a hike into some of the most interesting areas of Hueco Tanks State Park.

For thousands of years, people have trekked to these rock hills in far west Texas. In earlier times, they came for the rainwater pooled in natural rock basins, or huecos (“whey-coes”). Visitors today marvel at the imagery left by those ancient people.
