The Crossings


We went to The Crossings for a workshop & found a wonderful eco-conscious learning center, with great food, a beautiful spa & grounds. The Crossing's 200 acres & hiking trails rest in the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, which the founders, Ken & Joyce Beck, helped to create. The Becks have built a super-green enterprise, including a cutting edge water reclamation system. While, yes, there is a beautiful spa, the Becks' vision is for a learning center, & they have a roster of great workshops. The buildings are built with Texas limestone & have a theme that echos New England & the Romanesque! The Sidalgo Sanctuary is a beautiful & very special building, that reflects the approach of the Crossings & is unique among its competitors, even the more expensive ones! We will go back.
