Backroads in Balcones Canyonland

Start

Rt on 1431

Jonestown
Stop at True Grits if you're hungry or thirsty.

Lago Vista
the last civilization (and gas station) you'll see for awhile

Right on Cow Creek Rd. Let the fun begin.

Nice bluffs up and down Cow Creek. Find a safe place to pull of and listen to the birds and enjoy the view.

Right on 1174.

If you like bird watching, there's a purpose built place to the right down 1869 about 3 or 4 miles on the right hand side. Middle of nowhere. It's cool.

Left on 243 at the Y.

Oatmeal
Don't blink or you'll miss it.

Left on 330.

left on 335

watch out for cattle in the road.

I wish I found the unnamed road that turns left here! Never found it.

Left on 340

Wish I'd taken Turner Pass now also... maybe I did and I didn't know it.

Left on 341.

I would've taken Sycamore Falls Way but it is a private, gated road.

Stop and look around before you drive down the ridge. You can see for miles.

Left on 1431, homeward bound.

Jonestown
Again, hungry or thirsty? Hit True Grits.

Finish
Home again. Took me 4 hours, but I took a few side roads too.
