Stacker compiled a list of the most scenic road in every state. Here's how they did it:
Stacker utilized the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration and state travel guides to locate must-drive roads in every U.S. state to help any would-be road tripper to narrow down their options.

In Texas, the most scenic road is Lonesome Highway. Here's what Stacker said to back up its decision:
