Glen Rose, TX

Travel Guide

Simply has to be one of the most captivating parks we have been to as a family. It is very much off the beaten path from anywhere sizable, but well worth the drive.

Big Rocks Park currently has wonderful fall colors. You can climb on the giant rocks or wade in the river.
A great place to see animals up close. They'll feed from your hands, too. And a great place for close up photos.
