Ennis, Texas, is an ideal spot to watch next week's eclipse, or to admire the annual bluebonnet crop every April.
On April 8, a total solar eclipse will famously be passing through a vast swath of the United States, with several of Texas’s major metros—specifically—boasting a front-row seat to totality.
Driving on the interstate in Texas typically isn’t a very noteworthy affair. It’s a big state, with a lot of long, flat miles, a lot of towns, and an innumerable number of signs that you’ll pass by and pay no second mind. Occasionally, you’ll follow one of those names from one of those signs to the corresponding town and end up completely surprised at what you find.
There is plenty to do on-site once you settle in. The quirky collection of trailers makes for entertaining exploration, but one of the best parts of The Range is the communal activities with the types of people that the resort tends to attract. Enjoy some company at the outdoor pool, complete with a makeshift waterfall ideal for cooling off on a hot Texas summer day.
In Ennis proper, it’s worth taking a stroll through the downtown district and letting yourself get swept up in the allure of this tiny Texas town, its adorable streets, and charming stores. An unbelievable lunch awaits at Fern In The Wild, a lovely Southern-inspired restaurant adjoined to a cute gift shop excellent for souvenirs to commemorate your time here.
