Life is too short to drive on boring roads.
While there are a handful of roads with magnificent views that connect Texas and its many wonders, some offer substantially better landscapes than others. The road that we're going to shine a spotlight on today is nothing short of breathtaking. Travelers who take this route have no choice but to roll down their windows and marvel and the wonder that exists just outside their vehicle.
Sometimes, the view is so breathtaking that drivers feel compelled to stop, pull over, take a photo, and soak it all in.
If you're ready to set your sights on one of the most beautiful scenes Texas has to offer from the comfort of your car, or are simply tired of your boring commute, we've got just the road for you!
According to a list compiled by LoveExploring, the most scenic road in Texas is the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive. This road boasts stunning views from start to finish and is revered as one of the most stunning paths in the U.S. by locals and travelers alike.
Here's what LoveExploring had to say about the most beautiful road to drive in the entire state:
"Another awesome national park route, the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive puts the best of Texas' Big Bend on a silver platter. The 30-mile route cuts through the desert floor, with perfectly placed overlooks casting an eye over the rugged terrain. A worthy pitstop is the Sotol Vista Overlook, which looks out to the dramatic Santa Elena Canyon. History buffs will also appreciate Sam Nail Ranch, a ruined homestead and wildlife haven."
