Vacationing in the Natural Beauty of Texas Hill Country

Unforgettable vacation and sightseeing opportunities are plentiful in the rolling hills, peaceful valleys and small towns of the Texas hill country, along with the cities of Austin and San Antonio. Very different from the flatlands that stretch far to the East, or the humid lands along the Gulf of Mexico, the hills of west Texas are picturesque, livable and awash in awe-inspiring natural beauty.

Unlike their big sisters, Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth, the Texas hill towns of San Antonio and Austin radiate friendly, small town atmospheres. Both cities are large enough to provide all the 'bells and whistles' larger cities offer without the hassles of bumper to bumper traffic and endless lines for something as simple as taking in a movie. Austin and San Antonio are all about people, families and quality of life.

Near the southernmost border of Texas hill country, historic San Antonio has a population of slightly over one million. Home of the Alamo, the city flaunts its Spanish roots and proudly honors the 189 citizen volunteers who stood off the Mexican Army for a grueling 13 days.

Austin, the alluring Texas state capitol, is billed as the live music capital of the world. Named "the Southwest's hippest metropolis" by the New York Times, this laid-back city of 1.4 million has more clubs and fine restaurants per capita than any other city in the United States. Featuring excellent medical facilities, numerous clean energy employers and a moderate cost of living, Austin attracts retirees and families alike.

Smaller towns like Bandera and Wimberly are scattered throughout the Texas hill country. These towns are a horse lover's dream, with outstanding equestrian facilities, dude ranches, rodeos and horse races. Exceptional hunting, fishing and camping opportunities also abound in this region, enough to satisfy the most ardent lover of the outdoors. There's also plenty to attract golf enthusiasts - in addition to the many excellent golf courses in San Antonio and Austin, some small towns, such as Bandera, feature one or more courses.

As a New York Times number one pick for summer vacations last year, Texas hill country is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination. This serene region was once a rolling ocean floor. Today it is a land of trees and lakes, cattle, horses, and deer. The Texas hill country beckons the visitor and life-long resident alike to enjoy its spectacular scenery and endless variety of attractions. It is a vacationer's paradise.

Visitors to Texas hill country are often so entranced by it that they decide to make this lovely land their permanent residence. Not yet 'discovered' by hungry real estate moguls and ruthless developers, property in this area is surprisingly affordable. Ready built mini-ranches for those wanting only a few acres as well as large ranches that are perfect for pasturing cattle or horses are available in almost every area. A stable job market, good schools and the relatively low cost of real estate attracts professionals, outdoor lovers, families and retirees to this area of Texas.

Roll on Texas Moon - B&W $5.99 Roll on Texas Moon was the first of 26 Roy Rogers vehicles directed by fast-action specialist William Witney. The plot concerns a deadly feud between cattle ranchers and sheepherders, with the villains playing both ends down the middle. Working on behalf of the cattlemen, Rogers tries to avoid an all-out range war, finding time to champion the cause of gorgeous sheep rancher Jill Delaney (Dale Evans). Dennis Hoey, best known for his portrayals of the thick-witted Lestrade in Universal's "Sherlock Holmes" series, is rather surprisingly cast as the main heavy. While the musical content of Roll on Texas Moon is as omniprescent as ever, the "thrill" content is considerably heightened by the expert contributions of William Witney. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
