We all know Natural Bridge Caverns for its beautifully intricate cave system, but the San Antonio destination is also home to another family-friendly attraction: Twisted Trails. This four-story, 60-foot tall ropes course and zipline is equal parts terrifying and exhilarating, promising an experience you’ll never forget.

What we now know as Natural Bridge Caverns dates to 1960, when four college students stumbled upon a two-mile cavern beneath San Antonio. Today, several different tours lead visitors nearly 200 feet underground, showcasing ancient limestone formations, minerals, and many more incredible natural features.

Anyone who visited the caverns before the middle of 2019 probably remembers this ropes course. It already contained a whopping 47 obstacles, but a new and improved version is even more massive.

Towering 60 feet above the gorgeous Hill Country landscape, Twisted Trails isn't your average ropes course. It's four stories high, with elements like vertical rope ladders, double beams, and lily pads.
