Cypress pond

Starts in the same place as the Jesuit Cave hike but goes through the canyon and up the other side to a man made pond that has been there for years - long enough to allow some cypress trees to grow and mature. The pond is mainly a water reserve for free range cattle but it also make a nice spot for a mid-hike break. You are likely to see duck and other water birds around the pond. On the way back you pass by some of the buildings where the Jesuits lived during the Christos War.
