Texas Hill Country


We loved our stay in the Texas hill country. McKinney Falls State Park was full of surprises. The entrance is just a few miles from downtown Austin, yet we felt like we were out in the wilderness. The other interesting thing we discovered was a favorite show of ours, called The Leftovers, shot some scenes for the series, at the Upper Falls, in the park.

We couldn’t explore the city as much as we wanted because we didn’t realize SXSW was starting the week we were there. We did have delicious Texas brisket and BBQ at Salt Licks BBQ, in Driftwood, and made a day trip to Perdenales Falls State Park to do some hiking and experience more of the hill country. It’s a really cool park, too, about 40 miles west of Austin.
