Reimers Ranch, Texas: Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Swimming, Fishing, Birding

Enjoy the beauty of Reimers Ranch Park with Ken Kramm. Hike the trails; listen to the birds; and watch world-class rock climbers scale high cliffs. It is amazing to see climbers crawl on ceilings of caves, 20-feet in the air above you. Its like watching "Spider-woman." (Photography and audio recordings are by Ken Kramm. Go to his website for additional information and pictures.) http://web.me.com/ken_kramm/MobileMe/Nature_2009/Nature_2009.html

The Ranch is pristine parkland, open space and reserve land with almost 3 miles of continuous frontage along the Pedernales River in the Texas Hill Country. Before it was purchased by Travis country, the Reimers family operated the ranch as a private park. Climbers, mountain bikers, fishermen, birders, and hikers have been using this mecca for years. The park is renowned among rock climbing enthusiasts all over the United States, with the Reimers Ranch Climbing Committee hosting annual climbing events. Mountain bikers participate in events and races on a regular schedule. Both climbing routes and bike trails were installed and are maintained by local climbers and bikers.
