"Two sites connected by a scenic nature trail each tell their own unique story. Take in the monument honoring Texas victims of the 'Black Bean Incident,' and visit the ruins of one of the state’s first commercial breweries. Not to be outdone, the trail view of the winding Colorado River is itself a monument to the beauty of Texas." - TPWD
