Meet the Founders of Frio Cañon, a Texas Hill Country Retreat

Posted by Abigail Dalgleish on August 04, 2011

From the earliest stages, Frio Cañon has been a labor of love.

Thanks to all who spent their Fourth of July with Frio Cañon!  We were blessed to have a large number of families brave the wet weather and join us for a weekend of barbecue, fireworks and the Leakey Fourth of July Jubliee Parade with family and friends.  We've recently updated the Frio Cañon website and that includes an update to our photo galleries.  Make sure to stop in and check out some of the photos here and look for more in the upcoming newsletter, which should be out next week.

If you want to treat yourself, go for the Mama Chole's plate with enchiladas and their fabulous tacos.
