Lots of them! I'm partial to the Hill Country:

FM 1174
Park Road 4
FM 962

Enjoy!

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention COTA

Agreed. Also, if you are driving on 1174, check out Cow Creek Road. Intersects FM 1174 and connects with FM 1431. Don't go after a heavy rain, as there are many low water crossings...

Agreed, then hookup to 1431 back to 183. Go during low traffic times, since 1431 can be hard to pass. Very very twisty.

Picking back up on this thread: Count me as a +1 on FM 1174.

I drove it this morning and really enjoyed it. I was tempted to hop onto Cow Creek Rd from 1174, but it seemed narrow and in disrepair, so I scrapped it. Instead, I took 1174 to 1431. Great loop.
