Parks & Nature
Hamilton Pool is one of the most iconic natural areas in the Hill Country and in Texas. It's a little pricey to visit, and you have to get an online reservation first, but IT IS WORTH IT. Stunningly beautiful hike, creek, and the pool itself is magical. Highly recommend! (https://parks.traviscountytx.gov/reservations/hamilton-pool)
