Located 15 to 30 minutes northwest of San Antonio is the Texas hill country. Here you can find many outdoor activities including camping, fishing, hunting, hiking and biking.  Many small communities are spread out that offer unique dining and shopping experiences.  In addition, the wine connoisseur can visit many wineries throughout the hill country.
