Cross Mountain

It’s not a long hike to the top of Cross Mountain, where you can experience views from nearly 2,000 feet. This is the site where early Fredericksburg settlers in 1847 came across a timber cross on the hilltop that had been used as a lookout point by Native Americans. Enjoy a picnic lunch and take a quick walk around the butterfly garden featuring native Texas plants. It’s open dawn to dusk and there is no fee to enter.
