The Narrows: Texas' Best Kept Secret?
Показать описание
Texas is a beautiful state, and it boasts many natural gems of all shapes and sizes.
Most of them are well known, but you would be surprised to know that some of the most amazing places in this state are an almost ABSOLUTE secret.
One of these hidden gems is known as The Narrows, located near Wimberley, Texas.
The Narrows is a gorge formed by a series of cliffs seventy-five feet high and a quarter mile in length along the Blanco River in southwest Hays County, Texas.
The Narrows got their name from the narrow appearance of the gorge from above.
Springs flow from the cliffs and provide moisture for various species of ferns and watercress growing along the banks.
When the river is flowing heavily, there are significant and beautiful waterfalls and rapids.
Although The Narrows themselves are located on the Blanco River, and are, thus, officially public property, they are almost completely surrounded by private property, which is aggressively patrolled and protected by both landowners and local law enforcement.
The only legal way to reach this beautiful area is a grueling 14.4-mile roundtrip hike and/or swim down the riverbed, depending on the depth of the water at the time.
Hence, this hike is not recommended for anything less than the most avid, prepared, experienced, and physically fit hikers.
But if you’re feeling adventurous, there are several blogs and YouTube videos that cover the hike, and prepare the viewer for what lies ahead.
For the rest of us, there is the drone option (just try not to get your drone shot out of the sky) or YouTube.
Although nothing beats in-person exploration, I do my best to bring the hidden gems of Texas to your living room or mobile device, and I hope that you continue to follow me as I explore the lesser-known, harder-to-access gems in Texas.
Please consider liking my videos and subscribing to my channel if you’ve enjoyed coming along for the ride thus far. It means a lot to me. Thanks, and I’ll see you on the next one!
