What’s the best route to Sonora from Houston? The traffic on I10 At Brookshire and then again out side of San Antonio is getting ridiculous. Never been 290 and was wondering who goes that way.

Either way has it’s pro’s and con’s. 290 has small towns Austin, and Fredericksburg to slow you down about the same as 10. I hunt out that way and usually just stick to 10. -
I stick to 10 and do my best to leave very early to avoid those traffic issues. Came back home(Lumberton) from Sonora yesterday and took 9.5 hours. Holiday traffic in SA and Houston, wrecks on 10 near Columbus are what ate us up.

The traffic around Katy Mills to Brookshire is crazy right now with the construction and then from Columbus to Brookshire is the same. Might look at coming home 290 on Saturday a see how it works out. We will be there for 9 days so I can relax before hand LOL!!Comment

I hunt in Ozona & live in Magnolia area. The last few times I have travel 290 to Austin, 183 to Liberty Hill, 29 To Menard, and 190 to the lease. Even though I have to go through several small towns, this always to seem the fastest routeComment

When I went Houston to El Paso 16x for grad school over 3 years I went I-10 to 46 to go around SA. Loved the country roads but don’t want to get behind grandpa going 30mph.Comment

toss up really. depends on the road at the time. one lane traffic, crowds, on lookers at a crash other side of the road, sight see people. had a lease 36 miles west of Junction. I-10 6 hours from Houston. 290 was shorter but sometimes always took longer. either way a great view.Comment

I10 to Seguin
Seguin to San Marcos
San Marcos to Blanco
Blanco to Luckenbach to 290 just east of Fredericksburg.
I hunt with guys from Houston.They say it's just as fast as traffic time in SA and a nice drive.I live in Wimberley and drive this way.I hunt east of Sonora and have done the trip in 2 hours .Comment

I’ve been taking 290 probably the last 10 years. The people trying to pass you and cut over because 18 wheelers slowing traffic down on I-10. Along with the monotony of the drive I just can’t so it anymore. 290 does have the small towns, and a few slow down spots. It’s a more scenic drive overall.
290...21 to Bastrop...71 into Austin...290 all the way the to 10 close to Sagovia.
I would at least give it a shot. It’s more of personal preference anyways.

I've done it just about every way there is I reckon, and it's never exactly the same way twice for me it seems... too many variables, but as long as I'm not in a terrible hurry the backroads are much more scenic and enjoyable than the interstate.Comment
