Although summer solstice is about a month away, summer inAustin (and Texas, in general) has arrived with full force. In that spirit, we put together road trip through Central Texas so you can pack your family in the Honda and head out for a remarkable road trip vacation.
Day 1: Head down IH35 from Austin to Gruene for a day-long fly-fishing trip and end the day at the oldest dance hall in Texas, Gruene Hall.
Day 2: Head southwest to Bandera for some cowboy adventures. There are a few places to go horseback riding and roam the limestone peaks of Hill Country State Natural Area.
Day 3: Head north to Fredericksburg through Route 16. If you are up to the challenge, bike the 45-mile loop from Fredericksburg to Doss through cattle ranches and farmland. If something more low key is your style, Fredericksburg is a beautiful German town with little shops and even a Bier garden.
Day 4: Continue going north to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area for some rock climbing and/or hiking. After you’ve worked up an appetite in the park, head to Llano to chow down on some good old-fashioned BBQ.
After that you’re probably ready to head back home to Austin. At the end of the trip, you will have driven about 285 miles through the Texas Hill Country and created lots of wonderful memories. Nonetheless, before leaving on any road trip, remember to stop by our Honda Service Center in Austin to have your Honda looked at and make sure that it is in top condition for a long drive.
