One of the most popular tourist destinations in Central Texas is Hill Country, a scenic region with amazing natural attractions, quaint country towns and lovely hills and valleys. Austin is the gateway to this fantastic recreational area steeped in history and Southern charm. The Texas Hill Country welcomes more than 5 million tourists each year, and the clear rivers, towering forests and abundant wildflowers are just a few of the reasons they return again and again. From water sports and outdoor activities to shopping and golfing, Texas Hill Country provides a wealth of activities for all ages and interests.

The Texas Hill Country, just minutes from Austin, is full of natural attractions that provide the outdoor enthusiast with many chances to admire the scenery and recreate in Mother Nature's playground. One of the top attractions is Enchanted Rock, a large natural rock formation more than 400 feet tall. Also top of the list is the Longhorn Caverns, where tours recall the days when outlaws, Native Americans and soldiers used them as shelter. Cool off at Barton Spring Swimming Hole and check out the wildlife at the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch.

AUSTIN BIKE ICON TOUR

BIKE TOUR AUSTIN TEXAS

Austin, Texas, is well known for its high rate of resident activity. In fact, Austin is often rated among the healthiest and most-active cities in America. With a wealth of outdoor activities to choose from (parks, lakes, and hiking trails abound) Austinites have access to an almost indefinite number of options when it comes to exercise.

In recent years, Austin's cycling community has grown exponentially, due to its commuter-friendly downtown area, its close proximity to the beautiful hill country, and its abundance of parks and trails. Both mountain bikers and road bikers alike flock to Austin for its wealth of exceptional, well-maintained trails, as well as its other cycling resources.

Bicycle shops abound in Austin, offering everything from merchandise, maintenance and service, to beginners classes and organized riding groups for every experience level. With two locations, strategically placed on opposite sides of town, Bicycle Sport Shop (BSS) is considered by many to be Austin's home for all things bike-related. BSS boasts a full shop, offering bikes, parts, apparel, any and every type of bike gear imaginable (and if they don't have it in stock, they're more than happy to order it for you), and a supremely knowledgeable staff. They also provide service and maintenance, and even have a rental service, making cycling accessible to Austinites and visitors alike, regardless of their level of experience or commitment.

3. Go for a bike ride along the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail. This 10-mile bike trail runs through the heart of downtown Austin, offering a great view and a great workout.
