Wife and I have got the hiking bug recently. Tried Colorado Bend State Park this weekend and saw the waterfall. Awesome trip, falls were beautiful.
Wanna try and stay within about 1.5 hours of Georgetown area if possible. Longer trips might be in the books down the road though if the destination is worth it. Got any super sweet spots?  Attached File |

Pedernales Falls State Park is a pretty good spot. Austin area - just West of town.

Upper all the way down to lower Bull Creek off of 360 in Austin.
Enchanted Rock. Did the hiking trail in River Place ever open back up fully? |

For longer Enchanted Rock Lost Maples Any idea which "backpacking" camp site is going to get me more shade and fewer visitors? Is non-potable (but purafiable) water available from that lake I keep seeing pictures of? |

Cedar Breaks at Lake Georgetown. The trail actually goes all the way around the lake but would take at least 2 days to complete.

Enchanted Rock. Bring water. If you are camping I think you have to make reservations well in advance. I never bothered since it's an hour's drive from the house. Keep in mind, no bikes allowed.
Barton Creek Greenbelt? Only if drunks, piles of dog shit and homeless are your thing. Might want to look at Turkey Bend rec area, halfway between Marble Falls and Lago Vista. Primitave camping with lake Travis access. |

Primitave camping with lake Travis access. You just need to be really careful about the cliffs and not get offended by the occasional topless swimmer. |

Barton Creek Greenbelt is pretty awesome for hiking. If you hike there in the morning, you avoid all the afternoon asshats that don't roll out of bed till the crack of noon. There are some really remote box canyons and special areas even within a 30 minute walk of Barton Springs.
I don't recommend swimming in Barton Creek. The e.coli loads are usually very high and can make a healthy person sick. The trailhead on Spyglass is a great entry point. |
