Texas Trails
Dallas (Texas) - Houston (Texas) - Corpus Christi (Texas) - San Antonio (Texas) - Austin (Texas) - Dallas (Texas)
If you’ve ever wanted to visit the Deep South and the American Southwest, but don’t have time to do both trips – go to Texas. There, you’ll find both. Even though it is often associated solely with the cowboys and red dust of Southwestern deserts, Texas is filled with the diverse landscapes of both the American South and the Southwest. You’ll see terrain that ranges from the Southern coastal swamps of Louisiana to the piney woods of South Carolina, the rolling plains of the Midwest and rugged hills more like the New Mexico mountains than the south. Less than 10% of the land is desert. In the far Southwest, the desert and mountains are home to Big Bend National Park.
Along with geographic diversity, cultural diversity also reigns in Texas. The state has been ruled by a multitude of different countries. Spain was the first, which claimed Texas as a part of its vast holdings in the Southwest. Mexico controlled Texas when it wrenched independence from the Spanish. France even had a short-lived colony here before Texas won its independence from Mexico and became an independent Republic. In 1845, Texas was annexed to the United States as the 28th state, only to leave with the Confederacy in 1861. Just when things were settling down, oil was discovered in the Lone Star State in 1901 and the rest, as they say, is history.
Today, Texas has more Fortune 500 companies than any other state, and its economy has diversified significantly. A number of world-class museums have emerged and renowned cultural performances are regular events. It will be especially fun to enjoy the food, music and festivals that come with the different cultures. Austin’s musical heritage is incredibly diverse, from blues, country and zydeco, to classic and modern rock. Texas celebrates its heritage in small towns and authentic historic districts that have been carefully restored. And, like so many things in Texas, Big Bend National Park is one of a kind and larger than life. Don’t miss it!
