Gorman Falls 🌿 #texasstateparks


VISIT: tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/colorado-bend Some places just feel like magic. ✨ Gorman Falls is a 70-foot #waterfall that looks like something out of a dream. The water here creates stunning travertine rock formations - built slowly over time as river water evaporates. These natural terraces cradle quiet pools and lush greenery, home to species like the Guadalupe bass, our Texas state fish. 🎣 But this beauty is fragile. To protect the delicate habitat, respect it, admire it, and leave it better than you found it. 💚 #coloradobendstatepark #texas #texasoutdoors #nature #hiking #hikingadventures #stateparks #youtubeshort #youtubeshorts #shorts
