About the River
Llano is Spanish for "plains," and the double L is pronounced as a Y. However the common pronunciation of Llano by the locals is LAN-OH. The river's north and south forks join near Junction, and from there it flows a hundred miles southeast until draining into the Colorado River. Miles and miles of the Llano River are filled with granite boulders and granite-rifted channels, with thickened islands. During the rainy season in the past, the river would become impassable for weeks at a time.
