Cavern and Ranch Adventures With Some Enchantment in Texas Hill Country

This cavern was created by the cuts of an ancient river. Now, we can tour it and get a glimpse of the life of the rocks under our feet in the Hill Country. This State Park offers a walking tour of the cavern and a "wild cave" tour that requires a safety briefing and gear. It is better to get tickets in advance on the official website.

After you get out from underground, go above ground at Enchanted Rock. This granite dome boasts trails and rock climbing opportunities. Reservations() are required on weekends.

This family-owned barbecue spot is classic Texas style. The pork or beef ribs are a nice order, as is the loaded baked potato. Their pinto beans are a must, and they make their pies fresh in house, so don't skip dessert!

There are activities for everyone at Reimer's Ranch Park. There are mountain biking trails, swimming in the Pedernales River, hiking trails, and rock climbing. Or, you can just find the picturesque spot you like and enjoy for awhile. There is a fee to enter and they only take cash. The park doesn't take advance reservations because the land is big enough that it generally doesn't fill up.

Grab an order of fish tacos and a fajita to recharge after your busy afternoon. There is also an enormous list of options worth trying. Hang around for a drink and to catch some live music.

Snuggle up for a great night of sleep!
