So, plan to book early to reserve your spot! www.stayhillcountry.com Why is Bandera County a prime location to view the eclipses? Bandera County’s climate is well suited to experience excellent viewing opportunities. Traditionally, mid-October is the beginning of transitioning from summer to fall. Temperatures are becoming milder and there may be hinges of fall foliage on the trees. October is also a prime time for the fall bird migration to warmer climates. Early morning overcast skies generally give way to full sun. April’s climate is much like October’s. April is a peak month for the spring migration and spring wallflowers. As in October, any morning overcast skies generally give away to full sun by mid-morning. Where is Bandera County, Texas?
