Day Trips to Austin
When you are visiting Austin, keep in mind that there are lots of things to do and see in the surrounding region. If time permits, venture out and see some or all of them. Each is a special trip in its very own way, with its own fun and own excitement. Here are just a few of the choices you have:
• Music — Austin is the "Live Music Capitol of the World." Down close to Sixth Street, music flows from every single doorway of the clubs and bars. Almost everything from Rock to Blues is available, depending on your taste. For the full experience, jump from bar to bar and watch a little bit of all the various varieties.
• Inner Space Mountain — This limestone cavern was found only recently during roadway development. The stalactites and stalagmites make gorgeous formations that visitors can tour in groups or privately. With the cavern remaining at a continual 72 degrees year-round, it's a good escape from the summertime heat, as well.
• Lake Travis — Picturesque Lake Travis is a good location to get out and fish or just float along. It's 62 miles in length and has many concealed coves. It's a straightforward location to locate a peaceful place to relax in. Also, hanging out in a boat on the water or sitting on the dock of The Oasis restaurant are each great places to watch the sun set.
• Congress Street Bridge — Each night from March through October over a million Mexican free-tail bats fly out from below the bridge on Congress Street. The sight is amazing as a huge dark wave billows from under the bridge at sunset. Even non-bat lovers will find this experience incredible.
