I often find that if you're not from Texas, you don't realize what spectacular outdoor recreation options there are all over the state. From mountains and backpacking trails in the south and west (looking at you Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks) to kayak trails near the coast (Hi, Beaumont) to rolling hills and meandering lakes in Hill Country. But even I wasn't aware of all of the options for outdoor adventure in Burnet County, just north of my home in Austin! Have I piqued your interest?
