Sattler is where the Guadalupe comes out of the dam and the water stays cold all summer.

Below Canyon Dam the river runs out of the bottom of the lake, so it's cold in August when everything else is warm.

That one fact built the whole tubing business down there. Sattler is the town that grew around it.

Horseshoe Falls or the Rapids — where do you put in below the dam?

Driftwood is a barbecue destination with a wedding industry attached, and it's still mostly ranch road.

It barely qualifies as a town, but it draws people from three states on a Saturday.

The road out there is the good part. The last few miles look the way the Hill Country looked before the growth.

What's your go-to order at the Salt Lick, and do you still bring your own cooler?

Comfort has one of the most complete 19th-century business districts in Texas and almost no crowd.

It was settled by German freethinkers who didn't build a church for the first forty years. What they did build is still standing — block after block of limestone storefronts.

Less than 20 minutes from Boerne, and quieter.

What's the best thing to do in Comfort on a Saturday that isn't antiquing?

The Bandera County Fair is back this weekend, October 8–10, at Mansfield Park.

It’s one of those Bandera traditions that has been bringing the community together for generations — fair food, vendors, music, a petting zoo, and plenty of reasons to spend a fall weekend in the Cowboy Capital of the World.

And if you’re thinking about making a weekend of it, we still have a few vacation rentals available in the Bandera area.

Come for the fair. Stay for the weekend. Enjoy Bandera while fall is settling into the Hill Country.

Gruene is technically part of New Braunfels. Nobody who goes there says so.

It has the oldest dance hall in Texas and about four blocks of everything else. A neighbourhood on paper, its own town in every other sense.

The Guadalupe and the Comal are both minutes away.

Gruene Hall or Luckenbach — which one do you take somebody to on their first trip?
