Sometimes, the stress of daily life overwhelms us and we need to escape to the serenity of nature. Fortunately, there are plenty of places in Texas to do just that, even if only for a couple hours so you can get right back in the swing of things the next day. Willow City Loop just outside of Fredericksburg is one such place, and a breathtaking one at that. The drive, although only 13 miles, is packed with the unmistakable sight of Texas bluebonnets, the #1 roadside attraction in the entire state. It’s an amazing route that you definitely need to experience firsthand someday.
Willow City Loop is easily the most scenic drive in the entire state.
