Scenic Drives near Vanderpool

While the Hill Country is laced with scenic drives, the east-and-west route of F.M. 337 is unquestionably among the most spectacular, with massive wooded steps enfolding tiny, secluded valleys.

R.M. 187 north of Vanderpool climbs to the surface of the Edwards Plateau (2,300 feet) as it joins Texas 39. Sinkholes––porous basins that feed rainwater into the deep Edwards Aquifer––abundantly dot the Hill Country.
