10 of the Most Beautiful Scenic Drives in Texas

Texas is home to some of the most beautiful road trips in the country.

From winding Hill Country roads and wide-open West Texas landscapes to Gulf Coast highways and historic small towns, there's no shortage of incredible scenery waiting to be explored. And sometimes, you don't need an expensive vacation or a complicated itinerary. You just need a full tank of gas, some good music and a little time.

It seems like years ago going for a nice Sunday drive was a pleasurable experience for the whole family. Nowadays it would be a struggle to get the family in a car together without complaining or everyone staring at their phone the entire time. As I get a little older, I’m realizing that life really is about small things like taking the time to enjoy a beautiful and scenic drive if you have the opportunity.
