A collapsed grotto with a 50-foot waterfall spilling into a jade pool; online reservations are mandatory year-round and swimming is closed whenever bacteria counts spike.

Guided tours only lead into this protected canyon preserve with a grotto and waterfall, a Hill Country gem that stays pristine by limiting visitors.
