Rivers and Ribeyes

Trail is open but the river crossing was alittle high/swift for me to try alone

The stretch from Rocksprings to Junction was a little challenging due to the recent rains washing out alot of the river crossings. Met two different people that turned around due to some of them. Until the crossings are fixed I recommend high clearance and 4 wheel lock due to soft bottom rivers. First crossing is closed out of Junction otw to Fredricksburg but can be bypassed by using 377 to cr314 where you can rejoin the Tour trail. The closer you get to Fredricksburg the faster the trail gets. Worth the day trip for sure!!

Beautiful scenery and a completely different experience from the East Texas trails I’m used to. Most of my experience is on red dirt roads through the piney woods, so the rocky Hill Country terrain and river crossings were a nice change of pace. Some sections were rougher than expected, but nothing too extreme. Great views, plenty of places to stop and take photos, and worth exploring if you’re looking for something outside the usual East Texas backroads.

Nice, easy, fun trail for a day out in Mason! Any car could drive it with no problem

Trails open. Not a super exciting trail today. Rivers are low, barely got a tire wet. Not much dirt road, but I think the dirt was probably smoother than the pavement. Everything is still in winter foliage, no doubt prettier on spring. Enjoyable Sunday drive though. 4x4 not required.

Paved backroads with single lane creek and river crossings. Cattle guards and livestock are free roaming. Make sure you stay off private property and respect the land.

Some parts of the trail are paved and some of the trail is gravel. Gorgeous scenery, easy trail

Water was low in crossing

The beauty of the Texas hill country. The river view was amazing. Rolling hills and prairies along with deer. Watch out for loose livestock. The old oaks were amazing to see.

A variety of county roads, both gravel and paved, that wind their way around private properties in and around the Llano River. Very scenic with opportunities for water activities as well as a couple camping options nearby. Multiple water crossings even in drier conditions. Weather: Partly cloudy, Temperature 90-95F, Dewpoint 72, winds S at 10-15mph. Side note: Ran into angry property owner (or friend of a property owner) near the west end of the trail, right at the junction with US 87. I was parked on the side of the road and he said I was on private property and "could be shot". Other than that, it was a fun day of scenic driving with a little bit of dirt and water mixed in.

Mostly dirt roads interconnecting various loose livestock ranches. Fun drive along the llano river. Nothing technical but beautiful drive!

Trail is combination paved and unpaved county roads with a few concrete low water crossings. Wildflowers were in full bloom and were abundant and beautiful. I highly recommend this trail during wild flower season.
