TEXAN TRAVEL

Horseback riding is one of the many activities you can do at Pedernales Falls

One thing that you must do is the short trek to the park’s namesake waterfall. It’s an easy walk down to the sandy beaches and rocky riverbed lined with white cliffs. For stunning sunset views, hike one of the park’s overlook trails, which gives expansive views of the curvature of the Pedernales River and wild displays of color.

Rocks in the park have a history of going back more than 300 million years, and you will see some of the most beautiful and unique scenery in the Texas Hill Country. While the river itself is reason enough to visit the park, scenic trails wind through forests, atop ridges, and along the riverside.
