The Hill Country Tour

Tour Overview

Durations: 60 Minutes
Plane: Cessna 172

Departing from San Marcos Regional Airport, you’ll first soar over the charming city of San Marcos, where the San Marcos River’s clear waters wind through the historic downtown and Texas State University’s campus. Continuing northwest, the turquoise expanse of Canyon Lake comes into view, its rugged shoreline and surrounding limestone cliffs offering a stunning contrast to the lush greenery below. The tour then glides over the quaint town of Wimberley, nestled along the Blanco River, with its cypress-lined banks and rolling hills dotted with wineries, before heading to Dripping Springs, known as the “Gateway to the Hill Country,” where oak groves and natural springs create a picturesque landscape. As you return to KHYI, the sweeping vistas of the Hill Country’s undulating terrain provide a serene finale to this unforgettable journey through some of Texas’s most beloved natural and cultural landmarks.
