Product Description

This guidebook features 38 carefully-mapped walks in 26 towns in the picturesque Hill Country of central Texas. Itineraries take you along familiar main streets, then down the unbeaten byways that so often define a town's soul. A wealth of local historical detail available in no other single volume tells of the people behind the landmarks.

Whether you walk the routes or choose to drive or bicycle along them, you'll find precise directions plus the location of convenient parking, restrooms and restaurants. The index offers a quick checklist of cemeteries, courthouses, museums, parks and nature trails and even, for five towns, eyewitness accounts of ghosts, one of which the author swears she herself encountered during the preparation of this book.

About the Author
Diane Capito grew up taking family walks in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. She has explored Southern California and Mexico on her own and in walking groups. She ended up in San Antonio, Texas, where she organized evening neighborhood walk groups through a local school district's community education program. Those led to her first book--San Antonio on Foot, published in 1993--and to Walking Hill Country Towns, three years in preparation.
