Standing on business… or just rocks? 🦎🪨 The Texas horned lizard (aka "horny toad") is a spiky icon - but it’s also a threatened species in TX. They dig in sandy soil to nest, hibernate, and chill out. 😎 See one? Respect the space, let it vibe. 📍Seminole Canyon State Park

Gorman Falls is a 70-foot waterfall. The water here creates stunning travertine rock formations - built slowly over time as river water evaporates. But this beauty is fragile. Respect it, admire it, and leave it better than you found it. 💚 📍 Colorado Bend State Park
