AUSTIN, Texas — Nature and history go hand-in-hand at McKinney Falls State Park.

On Saturday, dozens of people of all ages attended a Native American history hike. Experts discussed the history of Native Americans who lived and traveled through Central Texas before hiking the park.

Hikers explored a shelter area in the park and a carved-out cave where Native Americans actually lived.

"What I'd like to see is a greater interest in the history of the Native Americans, and a greater appreciation for the span of time in history that we have in this country,” Sean MeCredy from the McKinney Falls Parks Department said. “It's not often talked about."

Organizers plan to hold several more of these hikes in the coming weeks.
