Canyon Habitat

The Edwards Plateau is intermittently divided by canyons, which were shaped as the water from rainfall collects into streams and creeks and cuts through the limestone.  Such small canyons are unique habitats because of the shade they provide as well as a riparian, or waterside, habitat.  This particular canyon, named McDonald Canyon, abounds in unique, rare, and beautiful plants and trees.
