Texas, the beautiful. That’s how the song goes, right? Right. I’ve been to a lot of states, and never have I visited a place with such a vast landscape diversity as our state. We have towering, majestic mountains and rolling plains littered with gorgeous wildflowers; dry, dusty deserts and fast flowing rivers – all in the same state. I might be a tad biased, but I think it’s safe to say that the place we call home is a perfect example of just how stunning our country is. Here are 11 places in Texas that prove this point impeccably.
