Lake Travis Area Trails: Hamilton Greenbelt

Written by Mandy Spivey | July 14, 2014

Hamilton Greenbelt in Lakeway has been a mainstay of the hiking community since the early 90s.

Best known for the varied terrain, multiple loops, serene waterfalls and trails that lead right down to water level at Lake Travis, this is one of the more popular trails in Lakeway.

You can get in a good jog, take the dog out for a stroll, ride your bike, or just go to experience the marvelous scenery and explore the finer details of Hurst Creek and Lake Travis.

Don Mario Mexican Restaurant: Mexico City Street Food in Lake Travis

Written by Todd Hower | July 10, 2014

Back in 2010, a taqueria opened its doors in a small space off Hudson Bend Road across from the Los Pinos Restaurant. As with most inconspicuous restaurants that pop up in the area, you might find yourself a little hesitant to give it a try without hearing about it from someone else first.

Well, it didn’t take long for word of mouth to spread and for the five star reviews on Yelp to start coming in. Even people from South Austin were making the drive out to Lake Travis to experience items from a menu filled with a melting pot of traditional comfort foods from Mexico City.

And after four years at a place with only eight tables (and no liquor license), the dream of moving to a larger space became a reality when the former Sobani Restaurant was vacated. The more noticeable location is in the Light House Market at Ranch Road 620 and Oak Grove Blvd., just a few miles away from the inconspicuous original taqueria that started off Hudson Bend Rd.
