Offering some of the only shade on Old Maverick Road, Luna's Jacal is a preservation of the kind of dwelling typical to the area in a time before the national park. Originally built around the turn of the century by Gilberto Luna, he lived here at the edge of Alamo Creek with his large family until 1947. Constructed from a combination of mud, stone, cane grass, and ocotillo, the jacal is surprisingly cool inside, making it a great place to relax and escape the heat of day.
