Explore the Devil's Backbone This Spring

Explore the Scenic Devil's Backbone in Texas Hill Country

Texas Hill Country is known for its beautiful landscapes, wine tasting, and relaxing getaways, but for those looking for something a bit more unique and intriguing, a drive along the Devil’s Backbone is a must.

The Devil’s Backbone is one of the most scenic—and most haunted—roads in Texas. This 51-mile stretch of highway connects the towns of Wimberley and Blanco, offering breathtaking views of the rolling hills, limestone ridges, and the famous Balcones Fault. The route is especially stunning in the spring, when the Texas Bluebonnets are in full bloom, making it the perfect time to experience this picturesque drive.

A Scenic Drive with a Haunting History

The Devil’s Backbone runs through the Edwards Plateau and is made up of a series of highways and farm roads, including Texas Farm Roads 12, 165, 2325, and 32, as well as U.S. Highway 281. The route typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on how often you stop to take in the views and snap some photos along the way.

Along the way, you’ll find sweeping vistas, winding roads, and incredible panoramic views. The road itself winds through some of the most beautiful stretches of Texas Hill Country, but there’s also the added intrigue of its haunted reputation. Over the years, locals and visitors have shared eerie stories about encounters with spirits of Native Americans, Confederate soldiers, and settlers, who met tragic ends in this rugged part of the state. While the ghost stories are certainly part of the charm, the real draw is the breathtaking landscape.

What to Expect on Your Drive

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the Devil’s Backbone provides an unforgettable experience. The route offers fantastic opportunities for exploration, so take your time and enjoy the scenery. Stop at local landmarks, explore the towns of Wimberley and Blanco, and soak in the sights that make this part of Texas so special.
