Colorado Bend State Park 5-23-08



We went up to Colorado Bend State Park again this weekend, this time camping with the Cecils at a river walk-up site. When we first showed up we found out I had reserved a drive-up site, which are 100-200 feet from the water and up and out of the flood plain. Luckily someone holding a walk-up cancelled (the whole place was booked up otherwise), and since we showed up early, we got to grab our choice of the whole batch (#26 is a good one). The drive-up sites are actually a bit more expensive, supposedly due to the convenience of being able to pull your car right up to them, but they're just not as cool as the ones right next to the river. The weather was hot and humid all weekend, but thanks to a steady supply of wind we were able to have a great time hiking to Gorman Falls, swimming in Spicewood Creek, and playing bocce in front of the campsite.

Here's a picture and video from the falls:
