Trail Building in Fredericksburg, TX

Fredericksburg is the heart of the Hill Country wine trail — a historic German town on Main Street surrounded by vineyards, ranches, and some of the most scenic terrain in Central Texas near Enchanted Rock. Trail work here runs the full range: vineyard walking paths and agritourism routes near Luckenbach, private hiking and equestrian trails on large ranch properties, and recreational singletrack on the rocky cedar-and-granite hills that define this part of Gillespie County. The sandy soils drain fast, which is great until a slope starts going without proper construction — then they erode quickly.
