So many interesting things to do and see are along the way that it would be a shame to cram it all in just one day. Bed and breakfasts proliferate throughout the Hill Country, especially in Fredericksburg and Wimberley, and river cabins abound in the Leakey and Concan areas. You're trip just wouldn't be complete without a stay in one anyway. This once sleepy little community in Hays County is growing by leaps and bounds. The beautiful San Marcos River begins here at Aquarena Springs where you can see the springs from glass-bottomed boats.
Tubers float to Rio Vista Park.
Canoeists and kayakers paddle the length of this winding stream in solitude. Shop or eat in the historic village of Gruene, or jump into the Guadalupe River with thousands of others. The river here is the most popular in the state. Museums and German eateries abound in town. Oh, and don't forget the Alamo.
