Despite its prevalence all across Texas, there’s one place where you can see more wildflowers than anywhere else: Willow City Loop near Fredericksburg. It truly is a magical sight.
This remote country road is teeming with wildflowers as far as the eye can see this time of year.
The entire 13-mile stretch is lined with the beautiful blue blossoms as well as absolutely breathtaking reds, yellows, and purples that are some of the most vibrant colors you've ever seen.
