Favorite Bronco rides in Texas hill country?

[arwhite]

What are your favorite backroads for tooling around the hill country in the Bronco? What about off road? Nothing too technical or gnarly, but off the beaten path at least.

16 from SA to Bandera and onward through Medina is really nice until you get close to Kerrville. Then past Kerrville and on to Fredericksburg is nice as well (still on 16). Well, once you get out of the SA traffic snarl. The twisted sisters (RM 337 from Medina to Leakey, RM 336 from Leakey to 41, then 335 from 41 down to Camp Wood) are pretty and fun to drive as well. There's also 27 from Kerrville to Ingram and Hunt.

Don't really know much offroading in the area, though.

Sounds like all my old motorcycling roads from back when I rode sportbikes 20+ years ago. The 33x roads and 16 in particular were always fun!

337 from Medina to Leaky is my favorite paved road in TX.

There’s cruise called the Willow City Loop that we have done during Bluebonnet season. It covers areas around Johnson City and NE of Fredericksburg I believe.

FM473 between 281 and Sisterdale is a good ride that we do often. There’s a bunch of back roads between Fredericksburg and Blanco and Comfort that we explore sometimes.
If you do want to go truely off road. Hidden Falls Adventure Park outside Marble Falls is awesome. It has plenty of easy trails to enjoy and has bypasses around difficult stuff so you don’t have to worry about getting into something you’re not comfortable with.
I just uploaded some videos on my new YouTube channel from last weekend when we were there.

James River Road is a great drive. Gravel road near Mason, you ford the James River (Llano tributary). Take a left at the T onto East Mill, then a left onto Salt Branch Loop. You'll eventually end up at 783 (paved). Left takes you back to Mason.

Just know that when it rains, the James River Ford can be deep. It's a pretty wide crossing, easy in regular flows. Slick as snot ont he bottom- makes it super tough to cross on an ADV bike.

I’m in Austin. Been to off rodeo and Hidden falls. They were fun but Looking for more off road trails? Places to go faster than 1/2 mph.
