Sightseeing
In January 2015, Ellsworth Kelly gifted the Blanton a design concept for his most monumental work: the first and only building the artist designed, as well as the last project before his death in December 2015.
The stained glass in this building is super cool! One of Austin’s better museums.

Swimming Hole
Edwards aquifer feeds this natural pool that is not chlorinated. Au naturel, and it’s cold!
Austin gets realllllll HOT in the summers and this pool stays a cool 68°! It’s an Austin icon. $8 entry fee or skip the line and go the “free area” where dogs and people swim together in harmony. You can’t bring food or drinks through the main entrance but you certainly can to the “free/dog” area! That’s a local tip 😉

Get ready, this place is fully nude!! It’s on beautiful Lake Travis and is an isolated beachy area where no clothing is an option! Swimsuits allowed too, but get ready to see some naked bodies! It’s great to sun your whole body and take a raft/floatie to float around the lake! BYOB, take a cooler, snacks, and some river shoes. It’s rocky.
