Hwy 12 runs from Hamilton Pool Road south through Dripping Springs and on to Wimberley. This is really just a gateway road that takes you to other much more exciting Hill Country backroads like Fitzhugh Rd., and Hwy 32. Unfortunately, the population growth in the area has made traffic a bit annoying. The stretch from Hamilton Pool Road to Dripping Springs isn't horrible, but from Dripping Springs to Wimberley it tends to be rather congested. That being said, it's a nice road with decent scenery, but it's mostly just a road you take to get to somewhere else, and it's a much nicer way to get south than taking Hwy 71..
