Alright, here it is, although I don't suggest going to West Elizabeth until you have your lasso (Bonnie's quest "Wild Horses, Tamed Passions), and you have access to bounty hunting missions so you can make big cash off the large bounties (Bounties first show up after the Marshall's first mission "Political Realities in Armadillo").
First, look at the train tracks running north of the MacFarlane ranch. Follow them east, the tracks will eventually dead end at an unfinished bridge. North of there is a waterfall, with a cliff along the mountain that runs up to the waterfall. Ride up that cliff to the edge, right by the waterfall, it should say "Tall Trees" when you get there. Look south, you'll see people on horses riding into the ranch. Pull out your gun and shoot a horse or two, but DON'T kill the rider, you want them to report you. Soon lawmen will begin coming for you, lead them up the cliff. Make sure you fire into the air once in awhile to keep their attention, don't kill them. You should be able to hug the mountain at the end of the cliff and they won't be able to hit you. After you've lead a lawman up the cliff toward you, and they're within 10-15 yards, put your gun away and surrender. They'll arrest you, and after a short jail sentence you'll be in Blackwater. When you're in West Elizabeth I suggest taming the American Standardbred (Its a rare, all black spawn horse which is the fastest in the game, spawns in the fields south of Beecher's Hope normally). I also suggest buying any guns you'd want to have, take advantage of the large bounties, and completing any challenges early that you have available.
Once you're ready to leave West Elizabeth and continue on, you can't just ride back to New Austin, however you have some options, and it depends on whether or not you purchase the property at Manzanita Post. If you do purchase the property, and die in West Elizabeth, you will spawn back at this house (Bears are notorious for stealthy deaths in West Elizabeth, like cougars). If you don't purchase the property at Manzanita Post and you die, you'll spawn back at Thieves Landing or MacFarlane ranch and you'll have to glitch your way back in. Here are your escape methods once you're in West Elizabeth:
1. If you don't purchase the Manzanita Post property, just kill yourself. You'll spawn back at the above locations. However, before you kill yourself, make sure you make an Auto-Save first, otherwise any items you've gained will be lost when you die and you'll be forced to glitch your way back in. To make an Auto-Save you can tame a horse, complete a challenge, start a bounty hunting mission, or if you've purchased a horse deed you can shoot your horse in the dead, go to your satchel and call the horse from the deed again.
2. If you do decide to purchase the Manzanita property, which I suggest since dying in West Elizabeth can be easy to do, you'll have to jump a bridge to get back to New Austin. I suggest a fast horse (The rare American Standardbred is perfect if you tame it here). Look at the south-east corner of West Elizabeth on your map. Theres an unfinished bridge that leads right into Thieves Landing. Build up a good speed heading toward the bridge, and then make your horse leap when it gets to the end of the bridge. You'll leap to land just underneath the unfinished bridge on the other side of the river. From here you can tip-toe to your left and you're home free.
I know thats a big wall of text, but I wanted to make sure everything was detailed well. Heres a shorter summary:
To get to West Elizabeth, get yourself arrested at the edge of the cliff by the waterfall north of the MacFarlane ranch.
To get back to New Austin, kill yourself if you didn't purchase the property at Manzanita Post. If you do have the property, have your horse jump the unfinished bridge in south-east West Elizabeth, just north of Thieves Landing.
