PEDERNALES FALLS STATE PARK

[@my2cyl]

I’m from Maine born and raised and in the late 70s I worked at the Johnson Space Center for awhile, I have never met so many friendly people in one state in my life. Texas could be my second home. Thanks for sharing.

[@doctorjohn-burgtekie]

I have lived in Texas all my life, did not know this place existed. Got to get out more thanks for the video.

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

That’s why we went! I had no clue it existed either! Definitely worth a visit! -Blair

[@nicknettel7394]

I went there when the water level and flow was plentiful. It was quite the experience!

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

So beautiful! We can't wait to go back soon.

[@1MrRaiderFan]

Looks like a pretty cool place, love how the water carved out the rocks, thanks for taking us with you !

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! -Blair

[@andijackson2296]

Wow! That is a really beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to be stopping there on our travels.

[@SFDearing1]

Park is between Austin and Fredericksburg off of Hwy. 290. It is in a relatively dry state in the middle of the summer. Heavy rains in the Hill Country west of the park cause the Pedernales River to flow heavy, even good for white water rafting and capable of killing unsuspecting swimmers. The river feeds into the Colorado River at Lake Travis above Mansfield Dam. Beautiful area and great for camping in spring and fall. Summer can get pretty hot!

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Yep! Thanks for watching! -Blair

[@leann4925]

Have been in parts of central Texas but haven't been there but as hot as it been here that water looked real good. Thanks for the video and the footage of the area is awesome. From Spring, TX

[@facepalmdaily4404]

Went there a few times when I was a kid on family vacations (in the early 90's). Either they allowed swimming around the falls back then or my dad was more of a rebel than I thought and just didn't care, but I 100% remember sliding down the falls and having a BLAST.

[@hikerhobby1204]

Facepalm: I remember when there was plenty of water sliding down the rocks on our butts. It was so much fun! USA have been late 80’s!!!

[@babsrichardson2400]

Thanks for the beautiful video. I have been there but only viewed from the park trail overlook. Loved watching you explore - simply beautiful!

[@margaretwilliams4154]

Hey yeah, I love Pedernales Falls! I used to go there back in the 70's. I don't know what the protocol is now but every once in a while back then they would blare a siren to let people know that they were fixing to open the flood gates. That was to let people know to get out 'til it was done then it was safe to re-enter! It was so fun and beautiful!

[@Megan7L7L7]

Thank y’all for the video! I have never knew of this area so me and my boyfriend went and we loved it!

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

So glad you guys got to go see it! It's definitely neat! Thanks for watching :) -Blair

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Looks beautiful, definitely planning a visit there!

[@rjtraveltime]

It's been many years since I've been there. Looks like it's time to visit again. Thanks for the great videos!

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

So happy you're enjoying the channel. Makes the work even more worth it! :) -Blair

[@thetravlinman8111]

All the graffiti, sad. People just don’t respect nature. Great video, safe travels

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Yes, I just don't understand that.. :/ Thank you for watching! -Blair

[@mariahcraig7298]

You mean the peoole who wrote their names with rock? I thought it was cool tbh. Marking memories.

[@spanglishspeakingitinerant6631]

@@mariahcraig7298 i agree. how is that any different from the petroglyphs from thousands of years ago? I mean, thousands of years from now they may be discovered by a totally different species and have them baffled and wondering what it all means?? lol. hey...it could happen....:)

[@xxZerosumxx]

We went back in April of this year. Very nice place to visit and camp overnight. I tell you what, I was very close to just jumping into those pockets of water. Crystal clear water!

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

I know!!! Such a bummer that swimming isn't allowed...the water looked so refreshing! -Blair

[@delfinozuniga2793]

Aaahh,,....I was wondering why no one was swimming in it. Beautiful,...thanks for the video

[@rvhouston7215]

Loved the intro. Water wading and rock climbing :).

[@kennyolsen2703]

Wow great job! I believe y’all captured the true beauty an so much more !

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Thank you for joining us for today's episode, friends! If you are in the central Texas area we HIGHLY recommend stopping by Pedernales Falls State Park! Let us know if you've ever been here before and make sure to hit that THUMBS UP before you go! Have fun out there!

[@oldtexan]

Yep. Been there a couple of times. Great park!

[@blippacg]

Water level looks way down. Back in 2015 the level was probably 20 feet higher. I've caught good size catfish in those holes in the rocks. And have you thought about a "dead cat" to help with that wind noise?

[@weekendhikers]

Nice video! Thanks for sharing! We visited this park recently and it is beautiful! @Weekend Hikers

[@JosephDunegan]

My wife and I went there last summer during our honeymoom trip to Austin. I used to go there when I was a kid. I remember the water fall was roaring and we used to slide down it. Not much water now!

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Yeah you can definitely tell it's quite dry compared to what it used to be. I'd love to visit it again when it's more full! -Blair

[@small-n-fun2061]

we just camped at pedernales last weekend, there was more water at the falls than in this video, one of the holes yall climbed through we found a 3 foot gar swimming in! cool video!!!!

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

That’s crazy! Glad to hear it’s filled back up!!

[@small-n-fun2061]

Yea it was gorgeous! I got it on my Channel if you wanna check out our rain filled adventure!

[@metagore]

Yeah... if you go a little bit past the designated swimming area, there's a trail and "crossing", I forget the name... but it's on the park map. That's where I always took my daughters swimming. If this park is new to you... then look up Hamilton Pool. It's nearby and gorgeous. But go early if it's on the weekend. They limit the number of people that can be in the park at a time and it fills up quickly.

[@metagore]

Here ya go... check it out if you haven't already... parks.traviscountytx.gov/find-a-park/hamilton-pool

[@AdventuresofShaneandLaura]

That looks like a cool spot. Thanks for sharing!

[@ricks.4176]

Beautiful place, great hike, but seriously Matt, flip-flops?? Thanks again.

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Oh yeah. Matt's notorious for showing up in flip flops... :P :P -Blair

[@paulstewart1626]

What a wonderful video, thanks very much for showing it to us. Seems like it would be a nice place to spend a few hours walking around, but I think it would be much too hot for me.

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Beautiful. Enjoyed so much

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching! -Blair

[@jonathanwhite2935]

Y'all should've found Arrow head pool its an awesome local spot. Its a small deep swimming hole with large cliff above it but the creek feeding into it is also really cool and a nice small hike.

[@tandyjenkins5333]

Beautiful country, thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

[@edaker4684]

Nice video, like the music too! Also liked the slide show! Would've been nice to swim there!

[@lbangotti]

It was not captioned so I not get to understand what was said but it was a beautiful video. I did feel claustrophobic in the rocks bahahaha I laughed when that guy came out unexpectedly. Looks like y’all had a wonderful time. Enjoy the rest of trip

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Thank you for watching! Sorry no captions, I wish I could figure out how to do them without having to manually type every one to the video in a separate app. 🙁 -Blair

[@lbangotti]

Oh it’s okay. No problem. Still enjoyed.

Nice video! Enjoyed it! Are you allowed to swim in those waters?

Yes, just wondering why you didn't get in to the river. ( nice video)

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Swimming isn't allowed in that part of the park. We totally would have if we could!

[@BettyHorn]

Can you swim in that water or is the ph too far off?

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

The sign said you can’t get in... 😫😫

[@adammiller6945]

There is a section that is for swimming. Was to cold when I visited but great weather for hiking.

[@BlueBlairyFitness]

Ah yes, there is a designated swimming area, but not in the actual 'falls' section. We didn't get to go this time, but we will be back soon, I'm sure! -Blair
