Come enjoy a natural wonder on the Nature Tram at Santa Ana NWR.  

The interpreted ride will carry you through some of the Valley's last remaining native habitats.  Birds, butterflies, wildcats, plants, and other wild surprises might all be part of the trip scenery.

Come enjoy the wild side of nature.  Take a ride through some of the Valley's last remaining native habitats and enjoy the beauty from the comfort of the open-air tram.  There are plenty of seats so please bring your family and friends along.

See such South Texas specialty birds as the Green Jays, Great Kiskadees and Plain Chachalacas.  With a little luck you might spot a Bobcat or one of the many other wild critters that call this refuge home.

The tram interpreters will speak of the refuge's history, the Valley's natural history, and so much more.  They will also point out native flora and  fauna along the tour. 
Come enjoy a beautiful nature ride South Texas style!
