Overview

Take a trip to Texas on your United States Vacation

From sprawling megacities to cowboy hats, trucks, and tons of state pride, everything is bigger in Texas. Whether you seek the renowned music and art scenes of Austin, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio or the small-town charms of Fredericksburg and Marfa, there’s endless culture and adventure to be found in the “Lone Star State”. Gather around the spit for a real Texas BBQ, where juicy meats like beef brisket melt in your mouth after being cooked low and slow for hours on end. Kick up the heat with some Tex-Mex cuisine, a delicious mix of Mexican, Spanish, and American flavours that can be found all across the state.

The colossal size of Texas allows for a diverse mix of landscapes within state borders, which is best explored from Big Bend National Park. This all-encompassing terrain includes incredible stargazing opportunities across the entire Chisos mountain range, vast stretches of the Chihuahuan Desert, and curved shores of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic Rivers. The mesquite-covered valleys and red cliffs of Palo Duro Canyon provide inspiration for artistic souls and adventure lovers alike, with plenty of trails to explore by foot or bike.

If you’re looking to cool down from the Texas sun, Padre Island National Seashore allows you to jump into the sparkling Gulf of Mexico and camp on a sand dune, keeping an eye out for any shooting stars. Seek out the cascading falls of Colorado Bend State Park, an adventurous hike littered with sinkholes, hot springs, and caves.
