Fondly known as the "Wedding Capital of Texas", Dripping Springs is certainly a beautiful place to get married, but this charming Texan town has plenty of other things to offer as well. The nearby Hamilton Pool Preserve is the perfect place to cool off during the hot summer months, and hundreds of areas of former ranch land have been converted into public parks laced with hiking and equestrian trails. The area's many craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries are another big draw, and if you've worked up an appetite, many of them serve delicious food as well. Dripping Springs is a fantastic day trip idea from Austin, just 45 minutes away (23.5 miles via US-290 W).
