St. Edward’s Park might otherwise be known as the Austin nature lover’s G-spot. For starters, just getting there is fun, as the park is located alongside the lovely winding Old Spicewood Springs Road. To Austinites, the miles of cacti-laden nature trails – many of which run alongside babbling Bull Creek – provide instant relief from the urban landscape left behind. Don’t be embarrassed if you end up spraying your nose-load in front of God and everyone, as this is Texas Hill Country, and it happens to even the least allergy-prone among us. For even more climactic vistas, veer south over the creek.
