When we get the hankering for a change of scene, we take our fat-tire steeds to Smithville. With 16 miles of trail stretched across 1,200 acres of Texas Hill Country, there's no place better to seek thrills, work on skills, and take spills. After tackling "Fat Chuck's Demise," "Omar's Howl," and "the Wall," stop into the saloon for a cold one and one of the best burgers this side of Waco. Camping available. Take Highway 71 to FM 153, head north past Buescher Park, and look for the sign on your left about two miles from the junction.
