Adventures in Vanderpool, TX

← All Adventures

Vanderpool is home to Lost Maples State Natural Area, one of the most breathtaking hiking destinations in Texas, especially in late October and November when its rare Uvalde bigtooth maples erupt in brilliant fall color. Families can hike along the Sabinal River canyon, scramble up limestone bluffs for panoramic views, and spot golden-cheeked warblers in spring. This secluded Hill Country gem rewards the drive with some of the most spectacular scenery in the state.
