Willow City Loop
About 21 km of country road lined with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush each spring. It is Texas's most famous wildflower drive.
Willow City Loop lies about 25 km northeast of Fredericksburg. It winds through hills and creek valleys between private ranches. From late March to mid-April, bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush and yellow wildflowers blanket the roadsides, making it the classic spring wildflower drive in the Texas Hill Country. The land on both sides of the road is private. Stop only on the roadside to take photos, and never climb fences or trample the flower fields. The road is narrow and winding, and traffic is heavy on weekends, so go early on a weekday morning.
