Geocache Description:

Easy cache. Could even be a P&G, depending on your direction of travel. BYOP.

The Indian Grass Prairie Preserve is open to the public for foot, bicycle, and equestrian traffic during daylight hours on marked trails (See the trail map.)

Located along Williamson Creek at approximately 700 feet above sea level, the Indian Grass Prairie Preserve has several interesting physical features.

The substrate of the Indian Grass Prairie Preserve is Edwards Limestone and a cave occurs along the northern edge of the area. This cave commonly called Sunset Valley Cave (Goat’s Head Cave) and Rattlesnake Sink is a recharge feature for the Edwards Aquifer. The cave is composed of two main chambers and is home to a variety of invertebrate species. The Indian Grass Prairie Preserve is located within the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.

The site is bisected by Williamson Creek, which is composed of Mixed Alluvial Land. Mixed Alluvial Land is comprised of beds of exposed limestone and gravelly alluvium. The majority of the site is composed of Tarrant and Speck soils. Tarrant soils are well-drained clay soils found atop limestone. Speck soils are reddish brown and also overlay a limestone substrate.
