The Enchanting Scenic Drive In Texas That Everyone Should Take This Spring

We may not experience the whimsy of winter snowfall here in Texas, but we have a spring phenomena all our own that just might be even more magical: wildflowers. Sure, they exist all over the country, but I have yet to find a state with such an abundance of the awe-inspiring plants. They bloom in many places throughout Texas, however Willow City Loop is definitely the best place to see them in all their glory.

Right about now, this remote farm road near Fredericksburg is starting to become absolutely overrun with vibrant wildflowers.

Not only is the entire 13-mile stretch lined with our state flower, the bluebonnet, but also with eye-popping reds, yellows, and whites that will take your breath away.

The road runs through creeks and hills filled with the gorgeous blooms, creating countless picturesque backdrops for family photos.

Experts have claimed that this particular area has one of the highest concentrations of wildflowers in the state - and these pictures definitely support their findings.

Spring is truly a magical time here in Texas, and this road is arguably the best place in the state to experience the enchantment.

To access Willow City Loop from Fredericksburg, head north on State Route 16 for ~13 miles until you reach Willow City, and then go east on Ranch Road 1323 for three miles until you see the sign for Willow City Loop.
