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.

Last time we went was in October and it was nice. I know with drought the water levels could be lower. We look forward in revisiting Burnet Texas soon.

You can swim inside the park, just not where the main falls are.

@@MrSTravelQuest Thanks for that info’. I’m going to tell my Gf tomorrow.

@@8arrows it’s a nice park, tons to do.

I know they have Palo Pinto Mountains being developed and Devils River Dan A. Hugh Unit. They’re the newest ones being opened soon. It’s going to be amazing!

@@MrSTravelQuest I never ventured west to the Pecos River nor Devil’s River But they’re both on my bucket list.

@@8arrows Devils River hold a special place for me. It’s beautiful and remote. It’s worth checking out when you have the time.

@@MrSTravelQuest yeah from what I seen online it’s beautiful.

I know they actively look for places at fair market price. Most of the time the parks are leased or donated to the state.That would be a cool place for a Texas state park.

Which part of Texas? I’ve seen some amazing bat colonies from caves to bridges. We always like highlighting them on our channel 😊

@@MrSTravelQuest they are exiting caves made at Huber Quarry. You can view them from Max Satrke Road. The road, and quarry are on he South side of Lake Marble Falls Texas. But from Mable Falls, they move all up and down the Lower Colorado River. And eventually the colony moves eastward. To colonize under the Congress Avenue Bridge. In Austin Texas.

@@MrSTravelQuest huh. I answered you question but my answer doesn’t show up that I posted it. Long story short. They come to Marble Falls. Along Max Starke road. They exit caves at Huber quarry. But you can view them from Max Starke Road . Every August at 7 pm. Max Starke is a dam, and that road leads to the dam, and the bluebonnet fishing camp.

@8arrows I have to check that out. I drive out in that direction once a week. Do people still swim it now, would love to highlight cool waterholes across the state.

@@MrSTravelQuest folks from these parts love going to the Llano Slabs in Kingsland Texas. That you seen me mention in other comments. And there is also Devil’s waterhole off Park Road 4 at Inks Lake State Park. I would not recommend anyone swim in Lake Marble Falls, nor Lake LBJ. Currents are strong some days on Lake MF. And Lake LBJ has had history of brain eating ameba. And reckless boaters. Pacebend Park is also a Travis County Park near Bee Cave, along the Pedernales River. Where the river meets upper lake Travis, people frequent to swim, along with Krause Springs in Spicewood Texas. Pacebend is super dangerous. Every year there is horrible news about drowned people. The currents made from boats pushes swimmers into alcoves and caves beneath the water. Hence why many victims are never found. We stick near the beach to swim, and away from the limestone cliffs, underwater caves, and alcoves.

Thank you so much! We loved visiting the city and feel we captured its essence well. Glasgow boasts fascinating history and countless activities to enjoy. We can't wait to return and explore more of its hidden gems.

Can’t wait to check those out on our next visit. Any restaurants you recommend we should check out?

Appreciate it, we hope you visit and check it out. Its amazing!

Only $8 bucks a month, still cheaper than most theme parks,

It's pretty cool, we rode it before jumping in Barton Springs.

@@MrSTravelQuest I believe they're still running the trains at Breckenridge Park in San Antonio.

@@hikingwithjackieboy I have to check that one out next.

Garner State Park, Concan Texas.

I’ll add that one to my list this summer.

That’s what happened on our tour and those folks were escorted out.

Texas boasts stunning waterfalls that rival even those in Hawaii. While creating this video, I discovered that the true gem of waterfall wonders lies in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. Crafting this content was a joy, and I'm thrilled you appreciated McKinney Falls.

You’re going to have a blast! If you have any questions let us know.

I completely agree! Using that extra funding to improve park facilities, particularly the bathrooms and adding A/C, would make a huge difference. The Texas heat can be intense, and having air-conditioned bathrooms would greatly enhance the comfort and experience for all park visitors. Let's hope they prioritize these much-needed upgrades!

Hi Xavier, I hope you’re enjoying your summer!

Not really

@@Thomas-fy9to sorry to hear that, I hope it gets better for you.

I last my grandmother passed away

@@Thomas-fy9to I’m sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the highlights of Edinburgh. You're absolutely right-Portobello Beach is a fantastic spot to visit, offering a lovely seaside escape right on the edge of the city. The Royal Yacht Britannia at Ocean Terminal is indeed a fascinating attraction, rich with history and royal charm. We missed it on our visit, but will check it out on our next trip to Edinburgh. Edinburgh truly is a city with a wealth of experiences, from its historic landmarks and vibrant culture to these wonderful seaside and maritime attractions. If you have any more recommendations or hidden gems to share, I'd love to hear them!

Yes it is, comes down to under $8 a month. Thats a steal!

Still got a great deal, I wish we could stack them. If you stay two or more consecutive nights you receive and camping discount. Store discount is 10% on retail/rentals, which is nice.

I appreciate it Ken, been working on making that better.

Exactly! I did the math and it’s cost around $8 per month.

Exactly! Most people I talked to don’t mind the price hike. Texas State Parks been improving their parks and expanding so that’s a plus in my book.

We have to check it out on our next visit to NC.

Good to hear! I buy one every year :-)

@@MrSTravelQuest My wife, Carol, has a similar bison photo from Caprock Canyons State Park. Beautiful animals!

@@doughutchison6382 I want to go back. Caprock one of the best places to get photos of them without a fence.

@@MrSTravelQuest We absolutely agree! We’re headed back that way very soon.

I plan on doing the same thing in the fall 😊.

Nice! I just renewed mine 😊

@MrSTravelQuest since I go to State Parks quite often, it's worth it for me to get the pass

@@hikingwithjackieboy if you visit on weekends or just use it seasonally, it pays for itself.

@@MrSTravelQuest it also has the camping discount

@@hikingwithjackieboy yes and park store discounts. I always buy pins and stickers.

Absolutely, it's a great deal.

Glad you had a wonderful tour. What company did you go with?

@MrSTravelQuest Same as you did... we used that company for this tour and for the Belfast tour. Both times they often pointed out sights to explain the history. They may have taken your critical comments to heart. One outcry point. We mistakenly double booked the Galway trip and didn't discover our within their 24 hour cancelation period. However they saw that it was an obvious mistake and refunded the 2nd tour. However that had nothing to do with Mt previous comments. BTW keep up the good work!

It's great to hear you had positive experiences with the company for both the tour and the Belfast trip. It sounds like they really strive to enhance the experience by providing historical context, which makes the tours more enriching. We didn't get that experience on our trip unfortunately. It's also commendable that they handled your booking mistake with understanding and refunded the second tour, even though it was outside their cancellation period. That shows a commitment to customer satisfaction and flexibility. Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the content. If you have any more insights or experiences to share, feel free to do so! Keep exploring and discovering new places!@@jstanovic

We have some great ones, I’m still exploring and finding new ones 😊

I need to check that one out. There’s one in Presidio called Capote Falls that’s supposed to be amazing. Thanks for sharing Chalk Ridge with us.

Thank you! Kevin is awesome, thanks for watching.

@@MrSTravelQuest your welcome!

Thank you!

Yes they have camping.

Thank you! Yes, it's surprising how many beautiful waterfalls Texas has. They're definitely hidden gems. I hope you get the chance to visit and see them for yourself one day! If you ever plan a trip, let me know-I’d be happy to share some tips on the best spots to visit.

That’s good to know, I know I’ve heard folks call it Purden-nales before too.

We’ve been a few times and only visiting during the fall and winter months. The heat is no joke during the summer. I bet those bike races are pretty cool with the scenic backdrop of Palo Duro.

Wow, hitting the 10k mark is impressive! I can imagine jumping into the falls felt incredibly refreshing after that invigorating run. We love going the McKinney during the fall and spring time. It’s a beautiful park and almost forget your near Austin city limits. I love that most of the trails are shaded, which is nice.

@@MrSTravelQuest Oh I didn't go over the falls.. lol I'm too much of a weeny for that.. but we ran across them for our course. It's lovely! A good halfway point for us to get to the coast - I'm sure we will go back many times over the years. We leave for a 13 state summer adventure in a few weeks! Happy and safe travels!

@@thathomemademom That's awesome! What states are you planning to visit and what are you most excited to do?

That’s awesome, what’s kind of camera does she use? We enjoyed highlighting all these places. I know Texas has some more waterfalls that we plan on checking out later this year :-)

She used a Canon Mark IV 5D with L Series lenses until recently. She now shoots with a Canon EOS R5C mirrorless. She’s also an FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot and uses a Mavic 3 Pro in her business.

@@doughutchison6382 she’s got a nice setup. Does she do professional work? I started on Canon, but primarily shoot using Panasonic Lumix series. Thats cool she got her part 107 license. It’s nice and can get approved to fly faster.

@@MrSTravelQuest Yes, she’s a published freelance writer and photographer. She’s worked with numerous magazines, worked as a co-editor for a magazine, and published a coffee table pictorial book all about Texas law enforcement. She also owns a real estate photography and drone business photographing houses and ranches in north Texas. I retired after serving 39 years in law enforcement and I work with her as she goes about her day.

That’s amazing! I figured she had to do real estate with the drone. I bet you help her with her gigs and equipment. I do photography and videography. I focus on weddings and quince’s. I bet she has tons of lenses and memory cards. I can only imagine doing it full time. Since you’re retired, what’s been your favorite place to visit?

Thank you so much!

I plan to add that one to the list once we visit. I know we have some great waterfalls in the state 😊, what’s your favorite one?

@@MrSTravelQuest I would say Hamilton Pool, but I like all of them that I've seen.

@@hikingwithjackieboy I feel that same way. Hamilton and Gorman falls are beautiful when they’re flowing.

@MrSTravelQuest last year when I saw Gorman Falls, it was at a trickle. Still beautiful.

@hikingwithjackieboy the last time went was when it had drought. The falls looked grey, never made a video about it :-/

Have to check that out on our next visit!
