One of the Most Scenic Drives In America Is Right Here In Texas

There are so many beautiful places to see the Texas state flower in bloom every year, but perhaps a visit to the Official Texas Bluebonnet Trail is best. You'll have to travel to a little city south of Dallas, Ennis, which is itself called the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas, earning this distinction in 1997. However, we guarantee that when you visit during the right time of year, the most scenic drive in Texas will certainly be a welcome experience.

The Texas Bluebonnet wildflowers shine brightest when they are in full bloom, which takes place beginning in March and often ending around May. The best time to go explore for yourself is during the month of April when the town of Ennis celebrates its claim to fame. Trails offer over 40 miles of majestic Texas countryside, covered in a blue blanket of wildflowers. According to the Ennis Garden Club, the bluebonnets are most impressive in the third week of April, but again you should check with the town's resources each year you visit for more current information.

Join the tens of thousands of visitors who flock to the trails every year to see the fields. When you're in town, check the Ennis Convention and Visitors Bureau for updates on where to find the best flowers at that time, according to the Ennis Garden Club. Before your trip, check the Ennis Convention and Visitors Bureau website for updates.
