Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

The Texas Hill Country is becoming a mountain biker’s Mecca and state parks like Pedernales Falls attract folks looking for two-wheeled fun.

07— Here at Pedernales Falls, we have a great deal of trails that can accommodate all skill levels of mountain biking. Watch out for that bump!

John Alvis is a park ranger at Pedernales.

Mountain biker, Vickie Lewis, says the trails at Pedernales are a hidden gem.

05— Right now, it seems like it’s fairly unknown for bikers. In fact, I don’t know if we’ve seen anyone on a bike.

09— We have probably 8-miles of one lane dirt road trails that will accommodate basic skill level mountain bikers. It’s a good way to
get out and see the park.

Pedernales Falls SP has about 20 miles of secondary trails; Wolf Mountain is the most popular among them.

Watch a segment on Pedernales Falls State Park mountain biking trails this week (week of April 20) on the Texas Parks and Wildlife PBS TV series. Check your local listings.
