Outdoors & Adventure in Austin
Biking, swimming, climbing, hiking: you can do it all without leaving the city limits. In fact, proximity to outdoor activities is one of the aspects of Austin that makes the city so endlessly livable; it's so easy to spend the day outdoors and your evening in.
The Barton Creek Greenbelt, the Hike and Bike Trail circling Town Lake, and Barton Springs Pool feature heavily in Austin's outdoor and adventure opportunities. If you can drive a bit further into the Hill Country, the offerings multiply, with great limestone cliffs for climbing, springs for swimming, and trails for hiking.
