SUMMARY:Rock Art Tours: White Shaman Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Journey deep into the rugged Lower Pecos Canyonlands to experience the White Shaman mural\, considered one of the most cosmologically complex narratives in the world\, at the Witte Museum’s White Shaman Preserve. \nLocated near Seminole Canyon State Park\, this 2-hour trek takes you through a landscape filled with Chihuahuan Desert plants and stunning views of the Pecos River where it converges with the Rio Grande. The White Shaman mural\, painted thousands of years ago\, illustrates the lifeway and belief systems of the now-gone hunter-gatherer society. \nMore about the White Shaman Preserve and the Witte \nPricing: \n\nMembers: $35\nNon-Members: $40\n\nTour Difficulty: (Strenuous) There is a 250-foot descent into a narrow brushy canyon and the trail is steep with loose rocks and uneven footing. At any time of the year\, desert heat can be extreme.\nRound-trip Distance: 1.5 miles\nDuration: 2 hours\nVehicle Requirements: There are no vehicle requirements for this tour. \nThe Witte’s Mission to shape the future of Texas inspires us to provide weekly tours from early Fall to late Spring for the public to experience the majesty of the White Shaman Mural. \nReservations are required and spaces are limited.

SUMMARY:Rock Art Tours: Bonfire Shelter & Eagle Cave Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Witte Museum for a hiking tour of Bonfire Shelter and Eagle Cave! \nLocated near Langtry\, Bonfire Shelter is a nationally significant site in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands that preserves evidence of what may be the oldest and southernmost “bison jump” in North America. Eagle Cave\, a large occupational site\, is found in the same canyon. \nMore about the White Shaman Preserve and Rock Art Tours. \nTour Difficulty: (Strenuous) The hike is into a very steep and rough canyon. Stamina\, agility and good balance are a must and climbing (knees to chest) over large boulders is required. This tour involves a 100 ft. descent into a canyon with no trail. Deep loose rocks make walking difficult. You will be in a remote location where response to serious injuries and medical emergencies will be difficult and lengthy. \nPricing: \n\nMembers: $70\nNon-members: $80\n\nRound-trip Distance: 2-mile hike. \nDuration: 6.5 hours \nVehicle Requirements: There are no vehicle requirements for this tour. \nReservations are required and spaces are limited. Participants must be ages 12 & up. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
