BLUEBONNETS 2020. GNT.

BLUEBONNETS 2020





Here's the list of potential bluebonnet photo ops outside of the Houston area:
Independence: Old Baylor Park at Windmill Hill (picnic tables and ruins of original Baylor University)
Pleasant Hill: Pleasant Hill Winery overlooks vineyards surrounded bluebonnet fields
Chappel Hill: Historic Main Street before, during and after the April festival
Washington-on-the-Brazos State Park: A great walking trail along the Wildflower Loop
Marble Falls: Check out the 400 acre Turkey Bend Recreation Area and Muleshoe Bend. You can even camp for a small fee.  Also ask about the Bluebonnet House -- when the flowers are blooming, it's incredible.
Kingsland: Abandoned railroad tracks run through bluebonnet fields about a mile off FM 1431, as well as abandoned farm equipment on several rural roads for great photo ops.
Fredericksburg to Llano: A drive along Highway 16 is an incredibly scenic drive through rolling hills and granite cliffs with stops along the way.
