Trail Overview

Gabion Trail is a short but exceptionally tough off-road trail, covering just over a third of a mile with a dramatic 161-foot elevation gain packed into about 100 yards. The route features steep, rocky climbs, uneven ledges, and loose rock sections requiring high-clearance 4x4 vehicles. A winch may be necessary due to the formidable obstacles and inclines presented along this trail. The landscape showcases rugged Texas hill country views, with dense brush and open vistas throughout.
