Austin

AND THE SURROUNDING AREA

If you know Austin, you know Barton Springs. You know Hamilton Pool and Lake Travis and maybe Blue Hole Wimberley and the milky jade of the San Marcos River. But have you posed with the bluebonnets at Muleshoe? Have you walked on ancient lava at McKinney Falls? Have you swung on the rope swing at William & Eleanor Crook Park? Did you know there’s yet another Blue Hole up in Georgetown? Austin and its surrounding towns are waiting to be explored. As the population rises in the Capital City and the line to get into Barton Springs stretches closer and closer to the Frost Bank Tower every day, make an effort to expand your horizons and discover what lies just beyond the city. This part of the Edwards Aquifer boasts an extraordinary number of natural springs (Hello, Krause) that support a unique ecological environment. (Hello, everyone who must work to preserve the Barton Creek Greenbelt—this includes you.) Grab a tube, find a spot on one of the many waterways, and enjoy all this bustling area has to offer.
