Hill Country Flyer Historic Steam Engine
The Hill Country Flyer, a popular 66-mile round-trip train journey operated from Cedar Park Depot, is a signature event offered most Saturdays from January to May and September to November. Departing at 9:00am and returning by 3:30pm, passengers enjoy a 2-hour layover in Burnet for self-guided lunch and shopping. With its inaugural journey in 1992, this ride has remained a favorite, inviting guests to confirm details prior to boarding and advising early arrival for a smooth experience. Security checks ensure a safe ride for everyone, with specific protocol against alcohol onboard.
For dining, the Trailblazer Grille stands out for lunch with a reservation almost a necessity due to its popularity among passengers. Alternatively, Unshakable Grounds offers lighter options with no reservation required. For those willing to explore further, options like Hacienda El Charro and Warehouse BBQ and Meetery beckon with a short adventure. Guests preferring a quieter meal can enjoy a picnic around the Burnet Courthouse. The summer months see the Hill Country Flyer hiatus, making way for the Bertram Flyer and the festive North Pole Flyer during the Christmas season.
