Landform

Edwards Plateau hills above a clear river — pecan shade, limestone shallows, and a short overlook that catches October color.

Field note

The South Llano is the park. Clear riffles hold pecan shade; the overlook looks over a live-oak valley that turns in a quiet October. Junction is the nearest town. This plate is South Llano River State Park, not Lost Maples one canyon south and not a Hill Country ranch.
