I enjoy a hike and this was not a difficult one by any means. On the way back up the hill it can be more tiresome. This picturesque trail lead me down a quarter mile path to Hamilton Pool; conveniently beginning at the parking lot.
Today we decided to visit this gem of Travis County for a couple of reasons; proximity, hunger, and famous BBQ.
Out in the middle of nowhere is a special place called Hamilton Pool. Before we dipped in the swimming hole, we decided it would be best to feed our faces. I heard there was a great BBQ place called The Salt Lick which is a must visit if you enjoy eating meat of the smoky rubbed kind. Texas BBQ is not only food, it's an event. The Salt Lick is a friendly establishment that sneaks up on a driver quickly if not keeping a look out for the sign.
