The Mission Trail

Several visitors to Hidden Valley this week have reported that they've really enjoyed their tour of the Mission Trail on San Antonio's South East side. Most are familiar with the famous Alamo but four other missions played a major part in San Antonio's early history. Mission San Juan
These missions are all located on a trail that begins at the Alamo and meanders southward toward the 410 Loop. Each of the Missions are approximately 2 miles apart and park rangers provide materials for a self guided tour of each one. The headquarters are found at the San Jose Mission.
