Some of the best things on vacations are ”happy accidents”, and Bull Creek was one of those for us. Alice and I were driving back to our hotel after a full day of going, seeing and doing in Austin when as we came to a stop light on Loop 360. As the car slowed, I noticed there was a side road leading down to a creek and there were several cars parked there, which made me wonder what might be the attraction. So I called for an impromptu ”photo op” and we left the highway to investigate.

Boy, am I glad we did. It was a beautiful creek and what was going on was a young couple were having their pictures taken by a professional photographer . . . we guessed they were engagement pictures. The photographer was having them wade around in the creek and getting different poses as she also waded carrying her expensive camera. I’m glad to report that no one fell down in the water. The above waterfall was one of the prettiest waterfalls we found on the trip although it’s not what you’d describe as spectacular.

We were amazed at how crystal clear the water was. Not only here at Bull Creek, but almost all the creeks and rivers we visited were clear and clean looking. Like maybe you could drink straight from the creek, although we didn’t try that.

We stayed at the creek for nearly 45 minutes, and when we talked with a couple of the locals, they told us this used to be a “Hippie Hangout” back in the 60′s and 70′s. I can believe it.
