Scenic Drives Across Texas - West

I have traveled many miles across Texas making videos, and I thought I'd share some of the highways that stood out as the most scenic on these trips starting with the western portion of the state.

Mountains to shore, swamp to plains, Texas has it all.

[@texys5848]

Yep, we also will get all 4 seasons in a single day 😂

[@michaelturano7522]

Its amazing how many people in Texas have no clue they have Mountains

[@nomaderic]

All my life I had to hear all the oil people talk about how boring the drive is all the way to the oil fields in west texas. They made it seem like it was a no man's land of nothing. Then I went there myself and was amazed. Went all through the Davis and guadalupe mountains and had no idea we had this in texas all this time.

[@cyclingtexas1670]

Perhaps it’s a good thing. It would be awful if it was as crowded as Yosemite and Zion

[@michaelturano7522]

@@cyclingtexas1670 true dat

[@texys5848]

Yep, the rockys baby

[@ricardocarmona5210]

Your videos are really detailed. And informative all so it amazing clarity. You can tell you put a lot of time into each video. There the bestest in Texas 🤠👍

[@sbburris]

The Davis Mountain Loop is definitely my favorite.

[@pnichols6500]

Thanks for the video, I've traveled those same roads many times. Love the whole Trans Pecos region.

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome video! Beautiful place's there! Thanks for sharing!

[@andrewthacker114]

Thanks for sharing

[@weswalker1208]

Thank you .. doing us proud again

[@reddiamond6688]

Absolutely stunning!! I did not know Texas had all this beauty.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

This has been nice. Getting to see several things. Thank you for the tour.

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Very well done! Thank you once more for sharing another spectacular video about our great state.🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@UpperZenith]

I toured David Mountain loop in 2002 and again in 2008, both occasions at the end of summer season. The air was cool and crisp up in those mountain roads, though just 30 miles away it was 95-100 fahrenheit

[@agesflow6815]

Thank you, Secrets of Texas.

[@LizzyTexBorden]

Beautiful. Thanks!

[@phantomblooper84]

I used to live in Silverton. It's one of the most remote places in Texas. Beautiful area, and great people. County Road 29 that runs along the Caprock Canyons State Park is an amazing drive. But it is 4x4 only.

[@connievalencia5513]

My bucket list just got a bit longer💕🚙

[@smokeybeardco]

Excellent video sir!!! Beautiful scenery! Heading to Texas in March 2023 for a couple weeks, central Texas tho, but your videos are so inspiring.

[@perrymahnke886]

Wow truly an awesome video and your timing for the release of the video is great, as I'm preparing to go back to Texas from Wisconsin for the winter again. Since I have limited mobility on my feet, scenic highway videos and suggestions for places of interest are really appreciated. I also look forward to seeing more of your wonderful videos.

[@thomaslong1952]

Best video yet, my bucket list for this spring!

[@marh122]

next year ! I am coming to Texas (from hearth of europe)

[@texasuavpilot]

Beautiful!

[@vivianallen9772]

Wow!

[@432Tx]

I love West Texas, i10 baby here Fort Stockton

[@FloridaRaider]

Thank You

[@frankedgar6694]

Caprock and Palo Duro Canyon State parks are just breathtaking.

[@WhispersFromTheDark]

It truly is beautiful over there. I haven't been that way in many years, I used to live in Memphis and in Amarillo and used to climb all over PaloDura canyon, now my Son lives there with his Family and they're not that far from there so they visit it regularly. I enjoyed your video, thanks for taking us along with you!

[@robertevans2450]

HWY 83 from Hamlin to Perryton is a pleasant view, as is 152 from Pampa to Borger, especially at sunset. RM1061/HWY385 from Amarillo to Channing is pretty as well.

[@weswalker1208]

Going to have to check out those petroglyphs

[@randysiler7458]

Thanks for sharing. Big Bend, Davis Mountains and Hwy 90 are special places.

[@matthewhigh8188]

Add to that list the Pinto Canyon Road a.k.a. the "Marfa Road to Nowhere" and the Quitman Canyon Road (formerly the Butterfield Overland Trail) through the Quitman Mountains from Sierra Blanca to the Rio Grande. Both are easily done with a 2wd standard car (as long as its dry). Also the Transmountain Highway (the "back door" around El Paso), TX-70 from Perryton to Pampa, the Sheffield Loop (Loop 290), The Pandale Road, and the Comstock-Ozona Stage Road through Dead Man's Pass.

[@bow2augusto]

cool video. i need to visit these places one day

[@chopperbillintexas5854]

Loved the video! I've been to a few of these locations, but with your recommendations in this presentation, I will visit many more. Thanks!

[@prairiepalace3336]

I grew up in El Paso. We would consider these areas East Texas!

[@432Tx]

I guess you never heard of Longview or Tyler Texas? That’s East Texas

[@shanedunlap6377]

Love your videos, Born and raised in Texas but still have not visited Big Bend or far west Texas. Definitely want to check out your recommendations for the Davis Mountains area.

[@frankedgar6694]

Davis Mountains State Park and the old Fort Davis are just marvelous. Big Bend is absolutely worth the drive. And the drives to either hold some real treasures.

[@Tex_Mex_A_Lex]

Can't wait for the east video!

[@samhianblackmoon]

🔥👍🏽❤️

[@maryp8388]

I love my Texas!

[@paulm749]

I like how you snuck in that zoom shot of Mt. Livermore at 5:52. That area of the Davis Mountains is truly a forested sky island in the arid terrain of West Texas. It's almost like our own little part of the Rocky Mountains. Surprised you didn't mention the McDonald Observatory, as that's a great place to stop for a good cup of hot coffee on a cool day and enjoy some great views of the surrounding mountains. The "star parties" there are also a fun way to spend an evening learning about astronomy.

[@ralphjames1211]

Best most scenic drives in Texas in my opinion are the following US 62-180 between the TX/NM Border west of Carlsbad, NM and El Paso, especially the part thru the Guadalupe Mountains and Guadalupe Pass. I-10 between San Antonio and Sonora, TX, as well as between Ozona, TX and Ft Stockton, and between i-20 and EL Paso! TX 207 thru the Palo Duro Canyon! TX 16 in the TX Hill Country US 83 between I-10 and Uvalde TX 55 between Rock Springs and Uvalde Any hwy thru the Davis Mtns. TX 118 between I-10 and Big Bend NP

[@CH-vc2pw]

I have never seen the Rio grande cliff near Langtry and drive through there monthly

[@TangoIndiaMikeJuliet]

3:09 did I just see a saguaro cactus in Texas?

[@joelogger88]

Tule Canyon and then Palo Duro to the north but I would recommend Pink Floyd

[@otnesoriginals7946]

How about mountain lions? Do you ever encounter them on any of your hikes?

[@kbaca9415]

FYI - Llano Estacado isn't pronounced with the L sound. It is Spanish and a double L, so it is pronounced with a Y sound. "Yaa-no Estacada"

[@reuterromain1054]

Western Texas, where Kiowas and Comanches once roamed.

[@Merlinsluck]

How do you think these places would be right now? Is it too cold to go?

[@secretsoftexas6872]

This week should be perfect

[@davidmiller6293]

love your video but....FYI McLean is pronounce MacLANE

[@stevendavis1940]

George Strait? ... How about Bob Wills, who is from Turkey?

[@Texasbluestunes]

How bout listening to Bob Wills instead? Born in Kosse but raised up in Turkey.

[@pamlaenger6870]

Love and prefer Caprock over Palo Duro. I would not feel safe in Big Bend or the southwest most places due to the border or lack there of.

[@ralphjames1211]

Guadalupe Mtns seems a safe bet as it lies well inside the Highway INS/Border Patrol checkpoint stations!

[@3101home]

Pam, please don’t believe half of the alleged violence on the US side of our southern border. I’ve been to numerous border towns on both sides and Big Bend area is one of the safest places in all of Texas. Border patrol does a good job and if you were to run into any traveling immigrants, be sure to offer them some agua.
