A Hotel Haunted by a Ghost Cat and Other Spooky Tales in New Braunfels
Just as we were leaving the restaurant on the outskirts of New Braunfels, we saw a black sky turn purple and flash with thunderbolts. There was a storm over Austin. We decided to stay and sit in the car for a while to watch the light show. Bolts crackled and arced with agitation, zapping opposing thunderheads. It was late, but it was spring break and I wanted to go back into town and continue our tour of New Braunfels–on foot. No one in the car said a word.

How Longhorn Cavern Was Carved by Hand
As soon as I descend the stairway leading into Longhorn Cavern, the temperature drops. A great rush of air envelops me while water drops fall from the natural rock bridge overhead. Looking up, I see hanging vines descending from one of the sinkholes, and just beyond them, a clear sky. The entrances at Longhorn Cavern State Park, an hour and a half northwest of Austin, originated as sinkholes, or dolines.
A Hiker Confronts Monoculture in Austin Parks
I didn’t even know it was there until I made a trip with my son to the Austin Nature & Science Center, a natural history museum for kids near Lady Bird Lake. The grounds feature a waterfall, trail, and dinosaur pit with play bones for children to dig up.
