Best Scenic Drive

Red Bud Trail

As an alternative to MoPac or even Bee Caves Road, we take the long way home whenever there's time. Running from Lake Austin Boulevard to Bee Caves Road, Red Bud Trail crosses Lake Austin just east of Tom Miller Dam and wends through Hill Country terrain and wildlife. Driving toward town, this route has the added bonus of a Capitol vista.
