This week's adventures took us to Barton Creek. We entered through an area we have not been in a decade, so it was a nice change from our usual entry points to the greenbelt....
It was a good hike and we rewarded ourselves with a margarita afterward and got to see Santa on a horse as a bonus...
I've decided that I would spend this hiking season finding new trails that we have not hiked yet in the area. Yesterday we ventured to Milton Reimer's Ranch. It was a $10 charge to get into the ranch, but it was well worth the money.
The pictures online did not do this place justice, the scenery was absolutely beautiful....
The next day we drove on to Hot Springs. It really didn't look much different than the Texas Hill Country...
We ate lunch here at this restaurant....
For me, the most awesome thing about Hot Springs is that you could get free spring water straight from the tap in various locations throughout the city. There were people who just pull up with tons of containers to fill up their fresh spring water supply. I wish Austin provided something like that for our cold springs...
I would definitely recommend Hot Springs as a tourist destination.
