Lost Maples State Park in remote Vanderpool, Texas, 85 miles northwest of San Antonio, is just about the only area in Texas to get a dose of fall color.
The route: Start on Interstate 10 West and pick up Highway 16 North until you reach Bandera. Continue on to Medina where you'll pick up FM 337 West (In these parts, FM stands for Farm to Market Road.) Then drive the last five miles north on FM 187 into Lost Maples.
