For a truly magical experience (watching a bat emergence in a natural setting) you can visit Old Tunnel, a park that was created to preserve the native nursery bat colony which took up residence in an abandoned railroad tunnel. Witnessing the spectacular emergence of 3 million tiny bats is an unforgettable experience. This colony consists of Mexican free-fall and cave myotis bats, a nursery colony of mothers and babies. May thru October is when you can see them as they migrate south in winter. 45 minutes drive.

Magical, mystical, truly unique Enchanted Rock is a wonderland of natural dichotomy. This uplifted pink granite mini mountain hosts interesting diverse flora and fauna, caves beneath the granite dome, vernal pools on top, cactus and ferns growing together in fissures, racing stripes of quartz crystal emerging from granite, unlikely plants and unexpected animals all add to the wonder of a hike up Enchanted Rock. Wildflowers abound in spring and summer. The pictures here do it no justice at all. Turkey Peak is great for rock climbing and there are extensive trails along Sandy creek and the lower areas. You don't have to climb to enjoy the beauty of this place. Be sure to bring bottled water.
