I will hopefully be pursuing a PhD in the fall and one of the schools I am being urged to apply to is UT Austin. Now I'm a Yankee and always have been, so I was hoping folks from around there could tell me what the hiking is out that way. I am used to being able to pop off into the mountains here on weekends to detox from work and I can only imagine that being more important if I am in a meat-grinder of a PhD program.
Thanks
