Here's what House Beautiful had to say about the most beautiful places to visit in Texas:
Big Bend National Park in Brewster County:
"Don't let the glimpse of water fool you: This desert park is hot. However, the temperatures are as high as the scenery is beautiful. At Big Bend National Park, you can find breathtaking mountain views, see awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets, and hike through the habitats of so many plants and animals. It's one of the landscapes that's sure to stay with you for years."
Riverwalk in San Antonio:
"This colorful riverwalk stretches 15 miles and is a must-see if you find yourself in the city. Museums, shops, restaurants, and hotels border the water, allowing whoever's walking alongside it to see much of what San Antonio has to offer. However, for an even more fun event, opt for a hop-on, hop-off river cruise which will take you to iconic spots like the Arneson River Theatre and the art museum."
Klyde Warren Park:
"This urban park over a freeway in Dallas is an escape for the residents and a beautiful place to hang out for anyone who so desires. The Klyde Warren Park connects the Dallas Arts District to other areas of the city and contains many active and passive spaces, as well as a restaurant, stage, dog parks, and fountains. Not to mention, the view of the Dallas skyline is superb from here too."
