Willow Loop Texas Hill Country Scenic Drive part two

Willow Loop Scenic Drive north of Fredericksburg deep in the Texas Hill Country

Willow Loop is a 5-mile Hill Country scenic drive located 10-miles north of Fredericksburg.

April 13, 2007.

Our motorhome is in Lady Bird Johnson City Park 3-miles south of Fredericksburg on SR-16; $20 FHU including cable with paved sites. We tend to like Lady Bird Johnson City Park when we are in Fredericksburg because the RV-sites are situated under the canopy of mature pecan trees but there are several more that are good as well. The Fredericksburg RV-Park on Highway street is another good park but it cost more and doesn't have mature trees that provide shade.

On this day we decided to do "Willow Loop", a scenic drive 10-miles north of Fredericksburg, that wanders through some spectacular Hill Country scenery. Willow Loop seems to encompass much of the diversity of the Texas Hill Country in creeks, granite and marble outcroppings in the normal limestone bedrock of the area.

Motorcycle groups travel through willow loop enjoying the scenery and not taking up nearly as much room as an automobile. I suspect that over 1,000 motorcycles rode through Willow Loop on the Saturday we enjoyed the scenic drive. Everyone was having a good time.

Most of them will visit Luckenbach at some time during the day.

 

In fact anyone visiting this area needs to stop by and experience Luckenbach.
