TRAVELING IN TEXAS
With this handy guide, you can embark on your Texas adventure with a complete itinerary, ready to hike the lush forests of the Piney Woods, shop in the big cities, stand on the sidelines at one of our many rodeos, or stargaze in the beautiful Big Bend Country.

Visitors to Texas are impressed by the cultural and geographical diversity within these 691,527 square kilometers (267,000 square miles) of landscape. There are more things to do in Texas than you can shake a stick at— so many in fact that each day can be a new experience.

In this guide you’ll find information about each of the seven regions of the Lone Star State, with practical details about all the activities in the area. Plenty of double-checking of numbers, addresses, and Web sites has gone into the production of this resource, but once you’ve decided on your itinerary, call places again to make reservations, find out about seasonal offerings, and get any updated information.

Don’t merely visit the Lone Star State; instead, plan your trip so you’ll have time for the roaming, wandering, and discovering that will reveal to you the true spirit of Texas. Your Texas adventure is whatever you make it.

HOW TO USE THIS TOUR GUIDE
As Texas is divided into seven distinct regions, so this book is arranged for you to make your traveling plans. In each region, you’ll find attractions organized by city. Following a brief description of the city, you’ll see a listing of specific attractions, complete with such practical details as physical address, telephone, and Internet addresses.

This tour guide provides much more as well. Look for state and national park information, Texas beaches, ranches, golf courses, shopping opportunities, wineries, meeting and convention sites, and touring for special agricultural, technical, and medical interests. In addition, there are details pertaining to bus companies and tour operators.

Keep in mind that Texas is home to more than 3,100 cities and towns, which is far more than could be squeezed into this guide. You will find that the ones included here are of great use and that the international edition of the Texas Tour Guide is a helpful way to become acquainted with Texas.
