Texas is divided into seven geographic regions with widely different landscapes. You’ve got beaches. You’ve got rolling hills and canyons. You’ve got seven different places in one; Big Bend Country, Gulf Coast, Hill Country, Panhandle Plains, Piney woods, Prairies & Lakes and South Texas Plains.
The Lone Star State is truly its own man, strutting around the American Southwest as if it owns the place. The old slogan “everything is bigger in Texas” is true to some degree and an ingrained fact for any true Texan. This translates to a lot of fun on the menu for visitors who enjoy cowboys, honky-tonk dancing, and a warm desert environment.
There is a lot to see and do here, even if you aren’t a closet cowboy at heart. Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are all fantastic big cities with all the trimmings. Historic attractions like The Alamo are here as well as the world’s largest stockyard and rodeos in Fort Worth. There’s even a superb local music scene at play in the capital Austin. But no matter where you roam in Texas you can expect a warm welcome and plenty of big Texan bravado.
