✨Fall Travel Series: Texas Hill Country ✨

Don’t sleep on Texas this fall! 🍂 While the Northeast gets all the love for foliage, the Texas Hill Country is seriously underrated. Picture vibrant leaves, rolling hills, scenic hikes, hidden swimming holes, and charming small towns; a nature lover’s paradise.

Must-sees:
🍃 Hamilton Pool Preserve
💦 Blue Hole in Wimberley
🌿 Krause Springs near Marble Falls

For something different, head to the Meadows Center in San Marcos for a glass-bottom boat tour, environmental education, and even snorkeling or diving while it’s still warm! 🐠

Make time for local vineyards 🍷 and don’t miss the vibe in cities like Austin, San Antonio, Fredericksburg, and Boerne. Hill Country in the fall? Absolutely worth the trip.
