Featured Attraction

Beautiful Hill Country landscapes in almost any direction: Texas 173 north winds through scenic vistas to Camp Verde and Kerrville. Texas 173 south rolls to southern edge of hills and enters lower South Texas Plains. Texas 46 east explores steep-shouldered scenery through community of Pipe Creek to Boerne. Texas 16 and F.M. 470 west is one of the best—dramatic blue hills enfold green valleys threaded by sparkling creeks.
