Did you ever wonder how best to find beautiful driving routes in our state? Aside from reading about them all right here, Texas A&M Forest Service has launched the Texas Scenic Views app so you can have everything right in the palm of your hand! Making its debut onto the app scene in September 2019, Texas Scenic Views helped a number of Texans find their way to some of the most amazing fall foliage views. Now it can help you do the very same for spring wildflowers!
Each year, in the springtime, we tend to go online or talk to friends and relatives about where best to get a glimpse of our beloved bluebonnets, not to mention the myriad of wildflower displays that can be seen throughout the Texas Hill Country from now through roughly June. Now we can use the Texas Scenic Views app to find the best routes, saving us time! Routes can be previewed through the app, along with reviews, directions that are downloadable, and photos from along the way. The app also features a map showing a current rating of each route! Hughes Simpson, department head for the Texas A&M Forest Service, recently said in an interview with agrilifetoday, “Texas has many extraordinary places to view scenic landscapes. This application helps connect users with those majestic hardwood forests, stunning bluebonnet fields and inspiring wide-open spaces that define this great state.” While you’re out enjoying the wildflowers and using the Texas Scenic Views app, you can also upload your bluebonnet photos, rate, and provide feedback on the routes you take.
