Today we went to Chalk Ridge Falls Park located just outside of Belton. We had planned to do a 5 mile hike but the brush that we had to get through and the lack of markers on the trail made us cut the hike 1 mile short of 5.
There were several cool spots to stop and explore. Here is a huge tree over the river. Brian walked over it and then I stood on it to
take this photo of the falls. I imagine this is a better water fall after a good rain.
Here is the very cool cable suspension bridge. Mic was quite nervous about it.
A small cave up a hill away from the trail.
We saw many huge trees and weird tree trunks. This is a tree that has several small trees growing from one of the branches near the top of the trunk.
Here is the view down the Lampasas River from a spot that we
took a final break. At this point Gabe was ready to turn back and we were all tired of keeping our eyes open for and dodging the poison ivy. It was a warm, humid day but we were so glad that the sun stayed behind clouds most of the hike.
