There are a lot of state parks in TX and a lot in this area! We decided when we went to McKinney SP to buy a $70 annual pass and have already paid for half of it. If you are going to spend 2 or 3 months in this state, the annual pass is the way to go.
We weren't able to do the 7 1/2 mile trail we had originally chosen due to the Perdernales River being to high where the trail crossed it, but managed to put in 5 plus miles in the falls area which was quite lovely.

This beautiful spot is where we stopped for lunch:

We took a small trail with a bird watching blind:

Our first winery in this area. Stopped on the way home. Nice wines but high prices and high tasting fee.

good to see water in the river...
ReplyDeleteApparently a little more than usual;) We would have liked to have done the longer hike but the ranger said no way, the water was running to swiftly and it is a trail you must cross the water and will get your feet wet.
DeleteGood to know about all those state parks...guess we'll be buying a pass! Looks like a beautiful area.
ReplyDeletewe did enjoy lunch by the river:)
