Spicewood travel guide

This Texas swimming hole is like your own little oasis. The lush greenery and waterfall almost seems as if you're in a different part of the world. I love love love this spot!

This camping area has more than 400 campsites. This was the view from our camp spot. The views of the Colorado River are pretty terrific :)

Indian Paintbrush, along Highway 71 in Spicewood.

Krause Springs is situated in the center of Texas and has the most unique waterfall and swimming hole. Best on a hot day since the spring water can be pretty chilly. The rope swing is an added bonus.
