If you want a little adventure, head to Pedernales Falls State Park, just 20 minutes away. It’s all rolling limestone, waterfalls, and river views. Bring your camera and maybe a picnic. If you’re up for something epic, check out Hamilton Pool Preserve, a natural grotto with a 50-foot waterfall. Pro tip: you’ll need a reservation!
