Along the River Walk
Uploaded: February 25, 2010
The famous Waco Suspension Bridge is the backdrop for Indian Spring Park, where in 2008, the first pieces of the “Branding the Brazos” sculptors made their debut next to the bridge. The towering Chisholm Trail sculptures, crafted by Robert Summers, include an oversized, bronze trail boss riding a longhorn.
