Day Trips to Austin
When you are visiting Austin, remember that there are many things to do and see in the surrounding region. If time allows, travel out and take in some or all of them. Each is a distinctive trip in its own way, with its own fun and own excitement. Here are just a couple of the choices you have:
• Music — Austin is the "Live Music Capitol of the World." Down around Sixth Street, music flows from every doorway of the clubs and bars. Everything from Rock to Blues is readily available, depending on your style. For the full experience, jump from bar to bar and catch a little bit of all the unique varieties.
• Inner Space Mountain — This limestone cavern was found only recently during roadway development. The stalactites and stalagmites make gorgeous formations that tourists can visit in groups or privately. With the cavern remaining at a continual 72 degrees year-round, it's a great getaway from the summertime heat, as well.
• Lake Travis — Beautiful Lake Travis is a great spot to get out and fish or just float along. It's 62 miles long and has many hidden coves. It's a straightforward spot to uncover a peaceful location to take it easy in. Also, hanging out in a boat on the water or sitting on the dock of The Oasis restaurant are both terrific spots to watch the sun set.
• Congress Street Bridge — Every single evening from March through October over a million Mexican free-tail bats fly out from underneath the bridge on Congress Street. The sight is amazing as a huge dark wave billows from beneath the bridge at sunset. Even non-bat lovers will find this experience incredible.
