If you're up for something totally different, take a trip through the Clarity Tunnel. This abandoned railroad tunnel has become the home of approximately 500,000 Mexican free-tailed bats! Wander in solo or get a guided tour from Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Hipcampers looking for a hiking challenge will find a worthy one in Haynes Ridge Overlook Trail. This tough terrain takes you to the highest point in the region. If you can handle the steep grades, you'll get a tremendous view!
