Harwood is a crossroads of a few dozen people on US 90, and every waterfall in its radius lies off to the west. Slumber Falls is the reachable one with a reason attached, a stretch of the Guadalupe near New Braunfels where swimming is allowed. Dittmar, Barber, Horseshoe, and Rust are names on the map with little else recorded, small Hill Country drops that need recent rain to perform. Five entries total, so pack for a river day and keep plans loose.
