Journaling regularly can do all this and more. We’ll help you get started with artist-quality tools, a variety of journaling prompts, and a sharing atmosphere.

Who Is Invited:

This activity is open to ages 10 and up and includes both a seated activity and a short hike. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.

This is a public program intended for individuals or families. If you would like to bring a group for a program at Government Canyon, please contact the Park Interpreter at Lisa.Cole@tpwd.texas.gov to schedule at a different time. 

Where to Meet:

Park in Lot C and meet at the Amphitheater. 

Accessibility:

There is a gravel path leading from the parking lot to the amphitheater, a distance of about 120'. The amphitheater is near an accessible restroom. The path into the amphitheater is gravel and flagstone. Several nearby picnic sites within the trees can provide accessible journaling locations. 

If other ADA assistance is required, please request modifications by emailing accessibility@tpwd.texas.gov at least 2 weeks in advance.

How to Prepare:

Registration is NOT required. Though the activity is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass. Day passes can be reserved beginning one month before the date of your visit. 

We will provide colored pencils and sketchpads, but you will need to bring a blanket or portable chair to sit on while journaling. You are welcome to bring your own art supplies if you’d like.

Dress for hiking outdoors. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, bug spray and a hat are recommended. Bring at least 1 liter of water per person.
