The expanse and diversity of the geography in Texas is impressive.
Plains, forest, wetlands and coastal marshes, mountains, and the hill country. Texas has it all.
The roads crossing the state cross over some awesome bridges, canyons, and even lakes.
And of course, Texas has a rich history of railroads that crisscross the state.
Many of the roads follow cattle trails laid out in pioneer days while others were the main roads
laid out to major settlements like San Antonio and Washington on the Brazos.
While driving the back roads, watch for historical markers along the roadsides.
