Enjoy the Texas Hill Country

Premier location for rock climbing and hiking at this one billion year old batholith, but definitely not the place to go if you are looking for swimming opportunities. Primary feature at the natural area is the impossible to miss pink granite exfoliation dome rising approximately 425 feet above ground. Come listen to the enchanting crackling sounds the batholith makes at night during warm weather. The view from the top of the dome on a clear day is superb. Experts believe this area has been inhabited/visited by humans for over 11,000 years. That is almost as long as folks have been hanging out at San Marcos Springs.  This is one of the more unique places to camp in the Hill Country, but remember if you come out when it is warm you need to get your hiking done early in the day because there is no shade on that dadgum dome.  Most of the campsites have a fair amount of shade if you don’t get here too late.  Pets on a leash are OK.
