The Texas Hill Country is known for many things; swimming holes and beautiful parks come immediately to mind for most folks. And those are exactly the things you'll explore on this trip. Experience a mix of country and city life as you traverse small Texas towns, including Spicewood, Burnet, Fredericksburg, and Dripping Springs, and delve into the big city of Austin. You'll encounter a touch of history at the ranger museum, a little bit of art at the unique cathedral, and a lot of nature.
Please note that some activities close during winter. The best time for this journey is during the warmer months to fully enjoy the entire experience.
