All too often, the main focus of a trip is the destination, but what about the journey?

While taking a plane to get where you need to go can be timely and convenient, nothing beats the unexpected beauty you encounter during a road trip.

Just as your perspective shifts and it becomes less about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible, and more about the magic you experience along the way, the simple trip you planned suddenly becomes an adventure.

Sleeping on a flight as you barrel through endless clouds surrounded by strangers, turns into a front row seat at the most stunning show nature has to offer, all from the comfort of your own vehicle.

Look over there! A crystal clear body of water lined with small cabins surrounded by lush trees. No! The other window! Mountains as tall as the eye can see with buffalo stampeding the valley below. And don't even get us started on America's never-ending roadside attractions.

While each road presents its own beautiful traveling experience, there is one drive in each state known for providing the MOST scenic views around.

According to a list compiled by Thrillist, the most scenic drive in all of Texas is Hill Country.

Here's what Thrillist had to say about the most scenic drive in the entire state:

"Much of Texas’ famous bigness consists of long, desolate nothingness (which isn't always a bad thing!). But South Central’s Hill Country seems painted onto this landscape, offering up a respite that still feels uniquely Texan: a geographical and philosophical collision of Southeast and Southwest. How you drive it is a matter of taste. For a nice panorama, head northwest of San Antonio to Banderas Pass where, if you time it right, you’ll catch an explosion of vibrant bluebonnets. Devil’s Backbone loops around farmland and rolling hills, while the Willow City Loop is awash in the color of 5,000 varieties of wildflowers come spring."
