Antelope Creek Village Tour

Antelope Creek Village Tour 

Celebrate Archaeology Month with a guided journey into the past at Antelope Creek Village Each Saturday in October, meet at the Alibates Visitor Center at 9:00 AM and caravan with a ranger to an ancient village site featuring remarkable petroglyphs and stone structures left by the Antelope Creek People, who lived in the Texas Panhandle from 1100 to 1450 AD. Known for their skilled masonry and extensive trade networks, these early inhabitants built multi‑room dwellings and crafted tools from Alibates flint that traveled hundreds of miles across the Plains.

This ranger‑led experience includes a 2‑mile hike, so bring plenty of water and wear sturdy hiking attire. October weather can be unpredictable and may change rapidly; the hike will be cancelled in the event of inclement conditions.

To protect this fragile cultural site:
• Do not touch or remove artifacts
• Stay on the trail and always follow the ranger
• No dogs allowed, except service animals

Participation is limited to 25 people, and no additional guests can be added once the limit is reached. Reservations are required — call 806‑886-3826 to secure your spot.

Step back in time and experience the story of the Antelope Creek People in the landscape they once called home.
