Definitely an amazing experience. The trail is a little steep and rocky. But it was worth the hike up.

A small park - nothing fancy, just a short walk (around 5 minutes) to get to the peak to see a nice view of the Fredericksburg hill country. A bit of construction looks like still underway.

I LOVE CROSS MOUNTAIN!!!! It's a very peaceful place to walk and talk to God!! Even if your not into talking to God it's worth going all the way to the top. The view is BREATHTAKING!! Especially at sunset and at night because the CROSS LIGHTS UP!!! They have nice men's and women's restrooms. If you read this and decide to go let me know how you liked it please. Leave me a comment. Your Blessed!!
