Hamilton Pool Preserve

We made the trek up to Hamilton Pool Preserve today. Wow. What a great place. According to my good bud Wikipedia, it is a natural pool that was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion thousands of years ago. Sounds terrifyingly awesome.




Under normal circumstances the waterfall spans 45 feet but, since it has been so dry this year, it was more of a trickle in spots kind of thing. Impressive nonetheless. The shot to the right shows the dome in all it's glory. After spending some time here we hiked about a mile to the Pedernales River.
