Canopy walks are such a neat way to enjoy nature. They provide bird’s-eye views of the forested landscape and offer a unique perspective you simply can’t obtain from ground level. Phil Hardberger Park in San Antonio boasts a 1,000-foot-long canopy walk that lets you observe all sorts of wildlife from high above the ground, and it promises to be an absolutely enchanting adventure.

In late December 2020, the largest wildlife land bridge in the U.S. opened right here in Texas.

In addition to being the largest bridge of its kind in the country, this architectural feat is special for another reason: both people and animals can make their way across!
An 18-foot-high Skywalk is the newest feature of the bridge, added in early April 2021.
