Description
an easy day hike in the hill country above the pedernales river, through meadows & forest to an old grave site. the hike is best in spring or autumn although there is a river crossing at the beginning of the hike which can be interesting in the spring (we waded across with our daypacks over our heads, boots & clothes packed inside, & nearly got carried away).
