While in Fredericksburg, we decided to make a short drive to get a burger at Alamo Springs Cafe. Great burgers, cold beer, and live music in the evenings. A couple next to our table informed us of the bat viewing at dusk just a short walk from the restaurant. What a pleasant surprise! There were decks for viewing and information from a state park ranger about the 3 million bats that emerge at dusk. A must see and only a :20 minute beautiful drive from Fredericksburg.

Enormous pink rock dome that rises 325 feet above a small stream.
Reviewed By GSchunicht - Houston, United States
We dd a great hike up to the summit mid-morning, thankfully before it got hot, then went around through the canyon trail and back around base trail. All told it was close to 3 hours. Be sure to have a pack and plenty of water, maybe a snack. Some great views all around.
5. Enchanted Rock Cave
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 67 reviews
An interesting cave located within the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.
Reviewed By J_Ctravel22 - Haslet, United States
We climbed Enchanted Rock and traveled through the cave. It was $7/person to enter the park and there are trails to the summit (don’t do the loop trail if you are want to go to the summit). Once you arrive at the summit continue to the top of the rock. You will walk down the back side where you will find the cave opening (see image below). Once you are in the cave someone has spray painted pink dots and arrows to help lead the way. You will need a headlamp once you are inside. Be prepared to get dirty and to squeeze through some tight spaces. Some rocks will be slippery if it has recently rained and hiking shoes will make your caving experience more enjoyable. Once you finish caving you will climb back over the rock to the summit or you must bushwhack down if it has been raining. We would not recommend if you are not in good shape, have a large body frame, you are afraid of tight spaces and don’t have a sense of adventure. We had a great time only wish we had checked the weather since we bushwhacked through pouring rain, thunderstorms and lightening.
