Admire Texas Bluebonnets on the Willow City Loop

Texas bluebonnets are not only the official flower of Texas, but they are also one of the state's most gorgeous wildflowers. While these blossoming flowers can be seen on several Texas highways, one of the greatest places to see them is on the Willow City Loop in the Texas Hill Country. Willow City Loop is a lovely 13-mile journey across the magnificent rocky Texas Hill Country environment. The renowned loop is the typical Texas wildflower exhibition, particularly recognized for blankets of lovely Texas bluebonnet and ever popular Indian paintbrush.

Take Highway 16 N for 15 minutes from downtown Fredericksburg to Llano. Follow the 13-mile journey through Willow City, a small unincorporated town with a population of roughly 100 people! Over a dozen species wildflowers blanket the landscapes, which are peppered with live oak, pecan, and mesquite trees, and are bursting with blues, reds, yellows, and whites.

While the Texas bluebonnet flowers begin blooming in March, they reach their peak in mid-to-late April and are occasionally observed in May. However, because the land around the route is privately held, stopping or parking along the way is discouraged. Instead, take in the huge flower-filled fields and postcard-worthy displays.
