Outdoors
While some people say Texas is a little hot - and that might be true in the summer - it is also fairly temperate the rest of the year, making it a great place for outdoor fun year-round.
Beat the heat in Barton Springs Pool, take it all off at Hippie Hollow or enjoy the grotto at Hamilton Pool.
Get out on Lady Bird Lake with a canoe from Live-Love-Paddle or The Rowing Dock or walk around it on the Hike-and-Bike Trail. Details and more suggestions below.
