Where to Find the Best Wildflowers in the Hill Country This Season

Spring and early summer in the Hill Country deliver a show like no other: rolling fields of bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, and wild sunflowers that stretch on for miles. Whether you’re a local looking for the perfect photo op or a visitor planning a scenic drive, here are our favorite spots to soak it all in.

1. Willow Ridge Wildflower Farm

Just outside of Wimberley, this family-run farm is open for spring and summer flower tours. You can even build your own bouquet to take home.

2. River Road Scenic Route

Pack a picnic and take the back way from New Braunfels to Canyon Lake. Around golden hour, the light and blooms together make for a truly magical drive.

3. Brackenridge Ranch Trail

Off the beaten path, this trail offers a walking loop through acres of wildflower-rich pastureland and is never overcrowded.

Bring a camera, wear closed-toe shoes, and remember: don’t pick the bluebonnets unless you’re on private property with permission!
