Short Drives


Short Drives - San Marcos

Located on the Balcones Fault, San Marcos, Texas is a beautiful area that connects the exquisite Texas Hill Coun-try with the majestic Coastal Plains. As its nickname suggests, the ‘Jewel of the Corridor’ that stretches along Interstate Highway 35 is not only lovely, but a rare find as well. The best part is

that San Marcos is just twenty-nine quick miles south of Austin.

San Marcos is home to Texas State University and boasts of a thriving community that keeps the area fun and exciting while preserving its historical authenticity. Be sure to visit The Square, where you will find restored historic buildings hosting a wealth of unique retail shops, delicious cuisine and nighttime entertainment. San Mar-cos regularly draws in Texans with its fun river activities, including tubing, canoeing and swimming, but don’t miss other sights of interest like Wonder World, Aquarena Springs, the LBJ Museum, and nearby Natural Bridge Caverns.

Robert Redford, at the age of five, learned to swim at Barton Springs. The average water temperature there is between 67 and 70 degrees, even in winter. (Open year round, $3/ adults.) Find it in Zilker Park.

The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center is home to one of the last Gutenberg Bibles as well as the first photograph ever taken. Find it on the University of Texas campus at Guadalupe and 21st- it’s free to get in!

The diameter of each clock face on the UT Tower is 14ft. 8 in. The clock was first set in motion in 1936. Call (512) 475-6633 if you’re interested in taking in the spectacular view!

The French Legation, at 802 San Marcos, is Aus-tin’s oldest documented structure still on its origi-nal site. Construction began in December 1840 to the specifications ordered by France’s representa-tive to the Republic of Texas, Jean Pierre Isidore Alphonse Dubois de Saligny. The French Legation is now open to the public as a museum.

The Texas State Capitol was built of distinctive Texas pink granite quarried in nearby Marble Falls. Tours of the Capitol building are free!

Austin is the only US city that still retains and uses a portion of the tower lighting system that was once used during the late 1800s. Seventeen of the original thirty-one 165 ft. moonlight towers are scattered around Austin. (Can you find them?)

There is a legend that Mt. Bonnell was once called Antoinette’s Leap, named after a damsel who leaped to her death to avoid capture from In-dians that killed her lover, who fought to his death to defend her. Be sure to take the free climb and enjoy the view.

The Texas Governor’s Mansion is the oldest continuously inhabited house in Texas. It is said to be occupied by the ghost of a former governor’s nephew who committed suicide in the northwest bedroom in 1865. Right now it is closed for reno-vations.

Former first lady Lady Bird Johnson established the LBJ Wildflower Center in Austin to study and promote the use of native plants. The botanical garden covers 279 acres and displays more than 500 native species. $8/ adults. www.wildflower.org
