TCR #1383, 03-01-2014
I'm a Texan, born and raised, and as long as I've lived in this great state of ours, I've never even come close to seeing it all. That's why I love TCR! Helps me to see places in my beloved Texas that I'd probably never see, otherwise.
I live in San Antonio and love going on drives throughout Texas hill country. It just so beautiful. I hope to live in the country soon.
Any recommendations?
I love Texas... stay blessed Texas and it's people
Just completed a ride on The Twisted Sisters: Farm Roads 335, 336, and 337 southwest of Kerrville. Absolutely stunning views. The ride from Medina back up to Kerrville was just as amazing.
You are so right! I love the Twisted Sisters! Yes, Hwy 16 from Bandera to Kerrville, super. One July 4th weekend my son flew home (San Antonio,) we rented a Corvette and drove the Sisters. So fun! Happy day!
Yep, I couldn't agree more.
Lived in Austin & spent lots of time driving the roads in this area. Bluebonnets & other TX wildflowers are beautifully spectacular in spring. & stopping at Enchanted Rock gives you time to pause for a picnic. & if you're like my hubby, he heads for a climb on Enchanted Rock if he's got all his climbing gear, ropes, & shoes with him.
West Texas hands down. From the drive around Mt. Livermore near Ft. Davis up 118 and 166 back to 17. And also the epic scenic drive from Lajitas up to Presidio.
Victor Delgado i will check this out
Yea I've got to drive most of Texas now and earlier this year I got to drive around the Davis mountains
Stunning....from up near mcdonalds and passing by Livermore. Definitely my favorite drive so far in texas
I would agree but so remote
Hwy 16 from San Antonio to the little town of Medina then towards Vanderpool is one of the pretties stretches I've ever been on. Especially in the fall.
+Moni Mo> I really enjoyed a different segment (same area though)---Ranch Road 337 from Leakey-Vanderpool-Medina.
Going sat cant wait
Am going right now thank you I was watching on google earth but now that I see your comment I have too go
@@delstanley1349 Yes, absolutely, that route from Leakey-Vanderpool-Medina is very enjoyable. I've also taken FM 470 from Bandera-Tarpley-Utopia, then RR 1050 from Utopia to Garner State Park.
@@delstanley1349 me too. It's closed right now for repairs, but definitely beautiful scenery.
Texas, lovely and merciful. God bless this lone star country.
Marble falls to inks lake is my family's favorite!
Spring break in Burnet every year i can. Love this land. Love the river. Glad others appreciate it as well.
I remember when this guy was the Channel 8 country reporter. Always liked his vid segments.
A few scenic routes that may be over looked are State HW 17 from Marfa to I-10. The stretch just north of Fort Davis looks like western Colorado in the winter, there's a great picnic site there. Also 207 south from Claude to Quitaque (TX 86) in the TX panhandle canyon country is quite pleasant.
I love your old shows. I wish you would play them on TV
I enjoyed this and have been enjoying learning more about areas in Texas! Need to plan my own road trip as I have only gone through the pan handle.
How are you doing today?
Im glad i made time in my short life to trace these roads. Texas has everything! Im a transplant but i learned to drive in Houston so traffic and reckless drivers are a normal day. Im grateful for everyone ive met in tx...even assholes. Grateful for everything ive seen.
I'm proud to be born a Texans and love it. Show and wear it proud
Me, too, Kittrell!
Too humid and too hot. I was born there and lived there...some. It has some nice country though.
Kittrell Gaskins we Texans sure boast about our Texas upbringing don't we!
Kittrell Gaskins. Proud to be a Texan too. 😁😁😁
I'm a bit jealous Kittrell Hahaha, I mean I love Texas so much , I really wanna live there,, I'm from Amsterdam City & originally from Egypt...I do live in AMS for about 11 years now and it's so cool city..but as you know the grass is always greener.
i'm was born, grew up, and raise in texas, and I love thy beautiful open roads, so perfect
Highway 170 (the River Road in southwest Texas) is the most scenic, hands down. It likely wasn't on the list because fewer people travel that remote part of Texas.
Going Tuesday cant fukng wait!
How are you doing today?
thank you for having a look and greetings from germany 🇩🇪👍🏻🇺🇸
If you're going to Enchanted Rock, might as well check out the Willow City Loop. It should be on this list.
Absolutely!
@@leahcox6055 Did the loop yest for the 1st time. Unbeilievable. Wow
If you really want to enjoy the scenery, ride a motorcycle and stop often.
astranine sure did all the way to Abilene! Long ride there for sure😊
absolutely beautiful.
How are you doing today
I have been to all 3, thanks for the video
I love driving through the I-35E/W through Dallas. I also love driving on the I-30E/W through Texarkana.
I'm certified crazy
I so miss living in central Texas. 😔😔😔
Go onto a tall mountain in west Texas and you'll see what I saw. P.S. The night in west Texas is absolutely stunning (on good conditions)
Driving through Mother Neff is very beautiful,right up the road from where I live!
Looking for off the main road scenic route to teach grand kids how great Texas is
Nice report.
don't mess with Texas! love my state!
I miss Texas. I'm stuck living in Commiefornia for the time being. Can't wait to get back to the lone star state.
Matt Mello I feel bad for you being out there with all those regressive leftists
Matt Mello damn, I pray you make it back to texas. New York and Cali really are some of the worse states in America.
Texas has turned into California :(
@Eram Ahmed Of course!
Augustine Coronado New York's fine, just the far left non-local transplants give it a bad rep. California on the other hand is a whole different story
Folks, the ones on this list are beautiful, but none of these in this video deserve to be in the top 3, although State Hwy 16 from Medina to Kerrville (Bandera Pass) would be in my top 10. Here is my top 3:
1. The El Camino Del Rio (RR 170 from Terlingua to Presidio.)
2. Chisos Basin Road (Green Gulch, Big Bend)
3. Davis Mountains Scenic Loop (State Hwy 166 and State Hwy 118 west of Fort Davis)
- Honorable Mention: Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive (Big Bend)
- Honorable Mention: The Twisted Sisters (FM 335, FM 336 and FM 337 from Medina to Camp Wood.)
Paul H bro I check all them out on google earth 🌍 I have now decided to visit 2 spots once a year thank you so much for that comments you have no idea I travel a lot looking for place with the fam now I got a few more 🙏🏼
I think you have the best routes. I been on most of them and they are my best too.
Texas Hill country one of my favorites the scenery is awesome
The River Road, between Terlingua and Presidio.
You got that right ! River Road Highway 170 along the Rio Grande is the most scenic route in Texas.
Allen Hare Absolutely! I love the Hill Country but The Big Ben area blows it away. How could they leave it out?
FM 170 is nice but there are more scenic drives in Big Bend. You have to get off the highway to really experience Big Bend.
Great idea thank you
East Texas has many beautiful roads, but the Hill Country has my favorites.
Devils backbone
Agreed!!! So beautiful, I live in Canyon lake
Kerrville to Vanderpool to Leakey to Campwood.
Pure mother earth beauty 😁
I like the Marble Falls drive! Guadeloupe Mountains of west Texas is great too!
I can't believe that the drive from Leakey to Vanderpool on Ranch Road 337 didn't make the cut. Easily the most scenic drive in hill country.
i first went that way nearly 50 years ago, when there were water crossings and a steady flow over the surface. that was so neat. love that road. from camp wood over .
dcb4357 hiitsme
That still exists in the hill country. The Frio River has several crossings like that and I diid a trip from Hondo to Utopia along Seco Creek that has a lot of bedrock river crossings. Check out my most recently posted video here on CZcams of Hondo Creek flooding last weekend. I've not seen water flowing in it since I moved here 2 years ago. It was definitely flowing last Sunday.
The most scenic drive I have been on here in Texas is just out of Big Bend heading west along the Rio Grande.
+Shuffler703> That's the River Road or FM 170. It's been mentioned.
loved texas to travel
Ingram up to Hunt and beyond. Follow the Guadalupe (both South and North) forks.
Been watching since 80s
How about the road between Schulenberg and La Grange? That is one of my 4 top roads in the US. # 1 is Guanella Pass in Colorado, My # 2 road is Rte 666 between Endeavor, PA and Marienville, PA. # 3 is also in Colorado and runs from Carbondale to Marble and side trips to Redstone make it beautiful. That road between Schuenberg and La Grange belongs in this list as well.
Hill Country is great, but the Big Bend area is better! Big Bend Ranch State Park is amazing! The Chisos in Big Bend are awesome. Guadalupe Mountains National Park is incredible.
I'm from San Antonio but haven't been back in several years. I got to check it out. Apparently they have MOUNTAINS in Bandera now! Must be those wacky Schlitterbahn volks, ja?
Bob rocks
Y'all should drive down Airline Drive
I lived in Texas 48 years one time. I found out that it is very hot there.
Hi, have planning for a while to visit Texas country side for a while, but the Covid 19 nightmare prevented me from going . This is my only comfort for now , I hope we get a vaccine soon , 😣😣😣
What scenery ??? Go to Montana if you want to see scenery at it's BEST !
Why not get IN the river at Lajitas and float through the Santa Elena canyon? It will take you two days, and what beautiful scenery....just the river and steep canyon walls. In a year like we've had with all the rain, there's bound to be some white water going through the rock slides.
more proof that most Texans haven't been to Big Bend Country
Why do these list always leave out west Texas/Big Ben area? Love the Hill Country, go there often. But Big Ben is bigger and better.
As big and diverse as texas is why would you put the top 3 drives all in the same little area of the state.
The beautiful woods drives of East Texas, the Davis mountains, the area near Guadalupe peak, some of the coastal drives, etc
This list dropped the ball hard lol
Piney woods drives in ETX are unbeatable. Sorry West Texans (born in Lubbock, trust me, I know)
Nah, 385 from Marathon to Chisos Basin in the park.
NO SHORTEST SCENIC ROUTS TO TAKE
I always thought that the best views in Texas were near the borders where you can see other states.
I to am proud to be a true Texan, I will be buried on the land of the Lone Star State..
Don't be afraid of the possessive apostrophe! It's "Texas's Best."
No, it's Texas' best :-)
Chicago Manual of Style allows either Texas' or Texas's.
I live in Texas, not Chicago :-)
Yeah... what is Chicago?
Whomever voted on these drives must be trippin'! Nothing beats the drive around Willow City Loop.
Look...I've been through Texas... in fact, I'm still driving around...how big is this damn state?!
Everywhere I've been? Desert. Hot. Long... dry.. hot. Scrubby. Rattlesnakes. Hot. Spiders lizards, some flowers, cactus, rock, hot, roadside travel stops, fireworks, hot... scrubby. And bare
And oil rigs. And windmills. And cattle smelling death... and hot.
And a beach.
The end
Time to get my first car, a sports car 😈
101 california
Native Texan but stuck in Austin.
bigroy38 same, stuck in Dallas
Northern California countryside is amazing
Except you have to go to California to see it.

TEXAN DO SOFT LONG
TEXAS HAS SOME COUNTRY WOMEN IV HERD WHAT A WHITE WOMEN SOUNDS LIKE BUT WHAT DOES A BLACK TEXAN WOMEN SOUND
Texas would be perfect but it’s sadly Trump country. It’s sad
Either this presentation was bad OR I've been away from Texas for too long and It's actually lame.
Why most of US media presenters have evangelist ultra deep voice ? Isn't that ennoying for american ears ?
Texas' best, eh? If you're from Texas, it's a given that you're proud, boastful, and exaggerate about your state and yourselves. Everyone knows that. I used to live in a *subdivision* in another state (won't say which, because y'all hate on other states as much as you brag on your own, tyring to elevate yours by lowering theirs) that was more scenic than this "Texas Best Scenic Drive." But hey, as long as you're happy. It doesn't matter whether it's due to reality, or "hooray for us" brainwashing.
now say that again but try not to cry...
Hmm my guess you're from California.
Panglos
Does your state have swamps, mountains, canyons, ocean beaches, deserts, mountain streams, share a border with Mexico, take 12 hours to drive across? I can travel 30 minutes from where I I've and not see more than a handful of cars all day long. Texas isn't an illusion. It's the real deal!
California and Colorado better
No.., ALASKA is BETTER.
