    Canyon of the Eagles park in Burnet is cool too. Not far from Inks lake and Longhorn Cavern, It’s no state park. But it’s a great summer spot. Nearby is also the Vanishing River Cruise. Where you tour the lakeside cliffs, and can see Bald Eagles, and Ospreys.

    • @MrSTravelQuest
      @MrSTravelQuest  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Canyon of the Eagles park in Burnet is a fantastic destination! It's conveniently close to both Inks Lake and Longhorn Cavern, making it a great addition to any trip in the area. We always love finding spots outside state parks, thanks for the recommendations.

    • @MrSTravelQuest
      @MrSTravelQuest  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In Fredericksburg, we enjoyed a variety of culinary delights. For burgers, we dined at Burger Burger and Alamo Springs Cafe. If you're craving German-inspired cuisine, The Auslander served delicious chicken fried steak and sausages, complemented by excellent German beer options. Macs BBQ provided a decent brisket meal, a convenient option after visiting Old Tunnel State Park to see the bats. We look forward to revisiting Fredericksburg and experiencing all the top attractions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We're passionate about encouraging others to discover and savor everything Texas has to offer.

      Hey Ms. Mel!
      You can book campsite 5 months in advance and day passes 30 days in advance. Depending on the terrain you might invest in hiking boots. I started off just wearing sneakers 😊. We have tons of parks near us and would just check them out. South Llano SP and Lost Maples are just two hours away from us. Abilene State Park is 1hr away. I know you and the family would love it. We’re in South Texas right now checking out all the State Park beaches 😀, I’ll have those videos coming out soon. If you have any questions just holler, I’m happy to help out.
