The ultimate Texas road trip
29 essential sites, from Houston to El Paso As you may have heard, Texas is a rather large state. Bigger than France, even. It?s home to three of the country?s 10 most populated cities (Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, with a booming Austin pulling up at No. 11) and has 10 climatic regions, 14 soil regions, and 11 distinct ecological regions?not to mention a diversity of cultures as varied as its geography.
It?s that variety?along with its rich history, relatively low gas prices, and ineffable ?Texasness??that makes it a prime place for a most excellent road trip. Planning that trip, on the other hand, can be intimidating. There?s simply no way to see it all in one lifetime. Luckily, no matter how much or how little time you have, there are great places to go and sights to see in every part of the state. To get you started, we?ve compiled this guide to 29 of the most essential in a variety of regions, and a few suggested routes. Let?s say you begin right in the heart of Texas, in Austin, where we?ve got a foothold. From there, you have a few options: Stay in the area and bounce down to Lockhart, through the Hill Country, and into San Antonio. That route puts you in a prime position (namely, on I-10) to gas up and make your way out to West Texas and then to El Paso. Alternatively from Austin, you can head east to Houston and along the Gulf Coast, hitting Galveston and Corpus Christi as you meander along the marshes and beaches of the barrier islands. Or head north...
