Approximate drive time: 2 hrs.
Just south of Dallas is the second largest Bluebonnet band in the state! Put on your blue jeans and plan to spend an afternoon in these breathtaking Bluebonnet fields. Take exit 259 for FM 813 E off I-45 in Palmer and head toward Bristol. Just before you get to Bristol turn left on Sugar Ridge Road. These Ellis county back-roads are the perfect spot to take your family photos—what’s more Texan than bluebonnet pictures? These wildflowers begin to peak in April, and usually last into early May.
