San Antonio area wheeling this weekend

[Chocolate Thunder]

I’m looking for somewhere to wheel easy to moderate trails this Saturday in the San Antonio area. Anyone have suggestions?

Since nobody else has responded....

Ride up 281, even though it's an hour and a half and go visit Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls. Hit Bluebonnet in town for breakfast, hit Double Horn for a Cowboy burger and a beer on the way out of town. I know it's less than ideal, as I'm sure that there have to be some places in San Antonio that are worth it, but damned if I know what they are....most folks I know there come up to Hidden Falls, or made the even longer drive over to K2 in Mason.

(Figured an answer that is not ideal might still be better than no answer at all! When it's the weekend...gotta wheel, right?)

I'm in San Antonio and there isn't many places to go but there is a few smaller locations in Boerne

Hidden falls is a bunch of fun! If you stay in San Antonio eat at Alamo cafe! Lindsay and I grew up in SA and will make the drive over there for their queso and tortillas

If he feels like going I may take my pops and go to hidden falls on Saturday.

Rain in the forecast for the morning, nice day afterwards (9-10am is when it should stop).
I want to go wheelin on Saturday and can't find anyone to join up with.
If you see a Mojito Rubicon that'll probably be me.

I'd like to join some experienced off-road jeeples sometime (I can't go today, ug) if they don't mind helping a noob learn the ropes. Stock 2-door Rubi from ATX. Heading to Big Bend in a few weeks to check out a few of the back roads, gotta start somewhere!

I ended up going to Hidden Falls for a few hours this afternoon. Only easy trails but lots of fun.

AJP hosts a "Stocker" day at hidden falls to help us noobs learn the ropes. Can't wait to get our there when my jeep gets here.

I think Baldy's jeep shop also hosts a class once every couple of months four the same reason.

Thank you for pointing out the AJP and Baldy's events. I looked on the AJP website, but no noob events on it at the moment. Nothing on Baldy's site right now, either. But I'll keep checking it, thanks again.

I didn't think that I'd be going out to Hidden Falls on Saturday. Having dropped off the Jeep for some work (ProCharger install and more) I figured there would not be a point. However....got lucky with a Jeep for the wife to drive, and I just worked on pictures. Talk about the perfect day, 80 degrees, sunshine, and it was as busy as I've seen it out there in a while. I hope everyone did have fun, and at some point, we should put together a group from here to get together and spend a day in the park.


Yes...that picture of the guy on helicopter, he was working on the power lines....had to take the picture, because that's a couple of jobs that I dont think I'd be that interested in doing.

Get on facebook and join the Texas Overland group. They have lots of MAP FILES with Trailer and public dirt roads throughout texas. One of the favorites is a RIVER AND HILLS route that goes along west San Antonio. Very pretty.

Thanks I appreciate the info, but I don’t have Facebook or any other social media and don’t plan to. Any way to take advantage of this without Facebook? It sounds really cool. Could you provide it to me if you have access?

 

[RubenZ]

Sure. I’ll post the files here in a bit.

If you are interested, that's a pretty neat trail to run. It can take as long as you like, but I've seen many groups (20-40 Jeeps) do it in 7-8 hours from start to finish, and it is a gorgeous drive.
