Life is too precious to travel boring paths.
When you choose to liven up your route, the journey becomes less about point A to point B and more about the adventure in between.
While a handful of pleasant roads connect Texas, there is one with views that far exceed the rest. This route turns a simple drive into an expedition and a normal afternoon into an exceptional outing.
According to a list compiled by LoveExploring, the most beautiful scenic byway in all of Texas is the US-290. This road boasts some of the most majestic and picturesque views in the state, seen from the comfort of your vehicle!
Here's what LoveExploring had to say about the most beautiful scenic byway in the entire state:
"Starting out in state capital Austin, one of Texas’ coolest cities, this route beats a path west on US-290 to take in Fredericksburg (pictured), in the heart of Texas Hill Country. It’s around one hour 30 minutes and just under 80 miles between these two enchanting cities. What's more, you’ll be traveling through Texan wine country too. In fact, given the abundance of wineries, the stretch of US-290 between Johnson City and Fredericksburg is known as Wine Road 290."
