History: 

This tract was purchased in 2000 by a group of partners who shared a goal of conserving the uniqueness of a canyon between sheer bluffs up to forty feet tall formed by the Blanco River in the Texas Hill Country. The property includes a 1000-foot-stretch known as the "Narrows," as well as an additional 3000 feet of river frontage.
