 Palo Duro Canyon

The Little Chapel in the Woods 
Named one of Texas' Top 20 Architectural Achievements and dedicated by Eleanor Roosevelt, this small but incredibly gorgeous chapel was built back in 1938.

Located on campus at Texas Women's University and ideal for exchanging vows or just visiting to gaze in amazement! 
Monahan Sand Hills
Another West Texas spot, this one offers gorgeous white sand dunes and is perfect for a day of sledding. Dune sledding, that is. Rent a toboggan or a horse for the day, either way this is an experience your family will always remember! 
Jacob's Well
Slightly outside of Austin, this famous swimming spot comes equipped with an underground cave. This karstic spring if fed by an aquifer that feeds into the nearby Cypress Creek. The 140 ft. deep charted cave system paired with the hypnotizingly blue water is definitely worth a visit or ten!
