This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SFA chapter.

1. Dinosaur Valley State Park, Glen Rose, Texas

2. Gorman Falls, Colorado Bend State Park

3. Enchanted Rock

4. Cascade Caverns

These caverns are breathtaking and perfect for those interested in Geology!

5. Palo Duro Canyon

6. Blue Lagoon, Huntsville

Super close to where we are, perfect for scuba divers!

7. Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge, Tyler

This is also super close to Nac, could be a weekend trip easily!

8. Westcave Preserve

Natural Sanctuary 45 min away from Austin

9. Willow City Loop

10. Jacobs Well, North of Wimberley

Check out this cave, that’s considered one of the coolest spots to swim at in the area!

These are some of the few gems our wonderful state has. Most of these are only a few hours away. This calls for several weekend trips and maybe a road trip! Now you can’t say you don’t have anywhere to go this summer

I am very involved on campus and sometimes it can be too much for my own good. I am definitely a go-getter who loves Pinterest, my best frienf family and my job.
