And, if you’re into bird sightings, it will be prime timing for the Golden Cheeked Warbler! Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy under the shade trees or purchase Rocky Creek BBQ on site. Admission is $10 adults / children 12 and under free.

If you have never been to the Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center, it’s a gorgeous 30-acre preserve about 25 minutes west of Austin on Hamilton Pool Rd. The grounds include a picturesque cave and grotto, complete with a 40-foot waterfall that can only be entered by guided tour.  It’s a beautiful and delicate piece of nature, try to make it out if you can!
