The beautiful Texas Hill Country offers many wonderful places to "Beat the Heat". Here are a few pictures of my favorite places along the Frio River. The Frio River is located about an hour from Kerrville near the small towns of Leakey and Concan. Yes, that's Concan not Cancun. Concan is my choice between the two. This area was virtually undiscovered twenty years ago when we first found it. Since then, there has been lots of development even though most city folks will say where is the development!?
There are camps, RV parks, convenience stores, tube rentals, kayaks rentals, B & B's and restaturants all along the roadways now that were not there just a few years ago. Hopefully, it will continue to remain as uninhabited as possible so the natural beauty will always be there for everyone to enjoy.
The Frio River is a spring fed rock bottom river that has very cold water. There are springs that gush in from the cliffs as you float by and you can actually feel the temperature change. Moss hangs from the cliffs and water drips through to the water below. There is one area where the doves nest and you can not even talk to another person as you float by as the cooing is so loud. The wonders of this area are too numerous to list. It is a mystical place and one that has to be explored to be appreciated. Have fun "Beating the Heat" in the Frio River but please leave your glass bottles and loud music at home. This is not the place for it.
There is no better place to "Beat the Heat" than this.
Peaceful flowing or rapids, wonderful in every way
Fun for all

Hi Ricki... whenever I feel that the world is just overdeveloped and crowded, seeing that places like this still exist renews and refreshes my perspective on things. Thanks for sharing!
