If you are driving here for the beautiful wildflowers, remember the wildflowers are there only in the Spring. We were there on March 23, 2024 (2024 is a banner year). Also, if driving in from Fredericksburg, the wild flowers are not abundant until AFTER you pass the boots on the fence. Expect lots of traffic and don’t expect lots of areas to pull over and park (but there are some). From Fredericksburg, head north on State Road 16 (Llano Road) for 13 miles to Willow City, then east on RR 1323 for 3 miles, then left onto the “Willow City Loop”. I don’t understand the poor review written in March of 2024 - must have been written by someone expecting a Disneyland attraction.

This was a gorgeous scenic drive passing through ranches in the Hill Country. Spring blooms are at peak. Highly recommend!!! Swing by Wildseed Farms also (about 25 mi). Thankful for impeccable timing today.

Words cannot express how incredible this drive is this year - after 24yrs in Texas I finally drove the loop and OMG - such an adundace of bluebonnets, white poppies, Indian paintbrush. I even came across a herd of bison! I recommend going during the week when there aren't so many cars. I also was lucky to have the perfect weather day. Texas at its finest

This is a very nice scenic drive through the Hill Country. I suggest going during the week. The weekend can get very congested on such a small road. Also, there are some areas that say "no trespassing". We personally didn't have an issue with this. To my understanding some of the ranchers have had issues with fence hoppers get injured on their property. As long as you stay outside the fence your good! The views are worth the drive in the end. This was peak bloom time. Which can vary by year. So check seasonally to see when you should plan your trip if you really want to view a full bloom. I would suggest to head to Enchanted Rock after here to get a 2 in 1 trip.

We drove the Willow City loop April 16th, midweek, really worth doing. The blue bonnets were starting to go over but plenty of other flowers showing their best. We visited late afternoon, sun was low, the light was nice and the road also really quiet, we only saw one other car. We started at the Southern end, it gets better as it goes with the best section in the last third of the route at the top end. There’s pull-overs where people have stopped frequently for photo stops but avoid tramping into the fields and spoiling it. Also enjoyed the drive back to Fredericksberg on Texas Highway 16, similarly spectacular verges.

The bluebonnet were early this year in San Antonio and we missed them on this trip. Luckily the Willow City Loop did not disappoint. They had some and were really the only ones we could find in the entire area. Thank you to the farmers who allowed us on their land to view this Texas wonder!
