Known as the “Gateway to the Hill Country,” Dripping Springs is filled with picturesque views that look like something you’d find in paintings hanging on the walls in a museum. The area has much more to offer with its wineries, nature trails, and master-planned communities like Caliterra in Dripping Springs.
You might start the day with a little time travel at Dr. Pound Historical Farmstead Museum where you can learn about the city’s history. The property has been restored to reflect the appearance and composition of the time when Dr. Pound lived there.
