Fredericksburg Caves and Nature Exploration
When looking to escape the heat anytime of the year in Texas, our guests are always wondering what there is to do without being stuck inside or in the hot sun. Exploring caves is a great way to escape the heat, while being outdoors, as the temperature in the caves is always cooler, so much so, some folks carry a jacket or a long sleeve shirt! Our area has several caves and great natural areas to explore. Here are some of our and our guests favorite.
Cascade Caverns
Cascade Caverns is one of oldest tourist attractions in Boerne, Texas. It is
known as a "living cave", meaning it is still growing and developing.
Stalagmites and stalactites grow slowly over thousands of years with many
colors derived from all the minerals present in the water. Ever hear of an under ground waterfall? They do exist and there is one here! To get in at your convenience, be sure to call for reservations at 830-755-8080. Cascade Caverns is a short 25 miles from accommodations at Walnut Canyon Cabins.
Cave Without A Name
Cave Without A Name is a really a fun cave to explore with many rooms, and very unusual
formations like Cave Drapery and Soda Straws just to mention a few.
The Throne Room, where they hold concerts and other performances, is just one of the large, beautiful rooms discovered underground.
You can take a tour of the many rooms, taking about an hour to complete, so plan accordingly. Reservations are highly suggested to get a time convenient to you. Call 830-
