Texas has many places to see and things to do on your way to and from Fredericksburg. There are two National Parks (Big Bend and Gualalupe Mountains) and 14 other National Park System locations. You can check out the travel guide and the Texas Travel website for more information.

If you’re 62 or over, you can get a Senior “National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass”. It’s free and good for life and is your free pass into any National Park Service properties. We use ours quite a lot.
