Never Too Early

If you're reading this, chances are you've been to the Frio Canyon in the summertime, and enjoyed the wonders of the crystal clear Frio River.
But if you wait til next summer to come back, you're going to miss one of the best seasons in the Texas Hill Country. The pictures below illustrate the natural beauty to be found in our area during the fall months. We took these last November during a trip to Lost Maples State Natural Area. It's a beautiful place to go hike, fish, picnic, or just relax under the changing Big Tooth Maples. The Natural Area is within an hour's drive from Concan, and FrioMan's vacation homes.

The drive over to Lost Maples from Leakey on 337 is one I never tire of. Brother-by-law was down visiting from Kansas a couple years back, and we were showing him around. He asked me why they called this area "The Hill Country", as we were driving thru the many mountain passes and pulling the steep grades. Excellent observation. Granted, this isn't the Rockies, but it's Texas, and that's what counts!

It's never too early to plan your fall vacation to Concan, so give us a call soon. Or if you still want to come out to enjoy the River while it's warm, we still have openings in some of our beautiful vacation homes.

Now you are being cruel!!! I could use a Frio River fix. Wish I could rope the river and drag it closer to Houston. People in Houston NEED Frio River fixes frequently to keep their sanity, but it is a 6 hour drive!! We are hoping for a winter trip...your blog keeps me from total insanity so please don't stop posting pictures!!! Thanks again!

I could use one too. But I'm getting mine come Sunday. Headin' over from Houston for 4 days! The USGS site looks like the river's way up. It's not too fast for toobin', is it? I want to see me some tubing pics before I go, Frioman!

I've loved having your blog here this summer! Thanks!!!!!!

There is nothing like Thanksgiving in Concan. The colors of the trees painting the hillsides, the steam coming up off the river in the mornings, and the quietness of it all. It's perfect and I highly recommend it!
