We’ve put together a brand new, fresh list of the best things to do in the Hill Country from September through November. Grab your favorite flannel, and let’s hit the road!
Go “Leaf Peepin'” at Lost Maples
While fall foliage tends to arrive a bit later down here in Texas (late October into November), the drive to Lost Maples State Natural Area in Vanderpool is worth every single mile. It is widely considered the absolute best place for fall colors in all of Texas. Pack a picnic, hike the scenic trails, and soak in the brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold as the maple trees put on their annual show.
