Devil's Backbone Scenic Drive
This is a short but beautiful stretch of twisting highway running a loop between historic old town Wimberley around Canyon Lake to Blanco. The Texas hill country road provides visiting travelers fantastic views from its steep elevations and gives a sense of the old wild west. Prepare yourself to experience the beautiful hill and vistas while at the same time avoiding all the traffic from the city.

This was an awesome experience. Kenny helped us out and showed us exactly where to go and what to expect. I would do this again and highly recommend it.

Great trip! Self-paced and excellent tour of surrounding countryside. Plenty of time to take a few breaks along the way and even grab a quick lunch. Easy process to get checked in and everything is set up for you. Highly recommend and great value for the experience.

A fun, fantastic ride through the hill country. It’s our first time to rent a Slingshot, and the experience was outstanding! It really added so much to the enjoyment of our visit to this beautiful area of Texas. We enjoyed the scenery of the Devil’s Backbone and the ride alongside the Guadalupe River. Highly recommended!!

Super fun experience and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. We arrived and were shown rules and safety video then after signing some forms, we were good to start. It was a fun tour, a fun vehicle and all around exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend:)

We give this experience 5 stars! It was so worth it. We saw the countryside of San Antonio. Beautiful scenery especially along the Guadeloupe River. Lots of places to stop and eat. Highly recommend the rooftop covering to protect against the Texas heat. Kenny was so helpful!
