Hey everyone, we're in Las Vegas now but we have seriously considered the Austin and Hill Country Area of Texas as a possible relocation spot for us...
We are of course concerned about wheelin as it's something that we love to do. We love getting out and doing the most technical crawling that we tend to find in our area, which is Valley of Fire / LoganDale (1hr), Sand Hollow (2hr), we've been to Big Bear and done all of the major trails and been all over Moab. So we are genuinely looking for 7/10 and greater level trails to stay entertained... These are all pretty much public land trail systems and they are great for wheeling!
With that said, we don't know much about the Jeep and Off Road community in the Austin and Hill Country Areas. We do know that there is Katemcy Rocks and Hidden Falls (private land parks) but we haven't been there and don't know much about who wheels there and what the off roading there is like compared to the rocks out here... Again though, since it is a big part of our life, next time we head out to visit, we're looking to see if we can get a better sense of whether a JKUR built up on 37's or 40's is going to really get to have fun out there, will there be similar people that wheel? Are their fun trails within our reach, what are the limitations of the private land use vs public land (if any), etc... maybe we can hookup with a few locals and rent a jeep or tag along to see what's out there.
Any input or references are appreciated. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, I thought this may be a good spot for it but for the mods, please relocate if needed and my appologies if I put it in the wrong spot!
Best from Vegas!!!
