Texas Hill Country In-A-Day

The backroads beyond Austin

Prickly Pear Babies

Now that you’ve gotten a sense of Austin, why not head just past the city limits and deeper into the region with a day trip into the Texas Hill Country.

This itinerary starts in Austin for context but quickly moves farther afield then back again for a casual finish in the city.

Explore all or part of this itinerary at your leisure; the loop is approximately 150 miles.

Morning

Austinites love starting the day off with a good breakfast taco and there are many on offer.

While everyone has a personal favorite, Veracruz All Natural, Torchy’s, Tacodeli, or Juan in a Million offer a wide range of options.
