Canyon Lake Gorge
Formed by a flood of the Guadalupe River on July 4, 2002, Canyon lake gorge provides amazing geological and fossil evidence. The gorge cuts through millions of years of geologic time periods like the Cretaceous era. Showing millions of years of amazing fossil evidence!

Taking the tour through the gorge was very educational and pretty cool. I learned about the history of the gorge, what all kinds of fossils there were there, and the animals that the fossils belonged to. The dam was built for two reasons, to control future floods of the Guadalupe River and to provide an emergency water supply to those who live along the Guadalupe River basin. History goes all the way back to "Pangaea"!
