It’s not hard to find beauty in Texas – whether you’re looking out over the sprawling lands of West Texas or taking in the luscious woods of the East. But sometimes to truly appreciate all there is to see, you gotta get a bird’s eye view! From hilltop and mountain to bridge and skyscraper, here’s a list of 11 of the most stunning views in Texas!
Between the food-coma-induced pains of Thanksgiving, the frantic gift searches of Christmas and immense stress of already failing at your New Year’s resolution, you’re exhausted and you deserve a break. You loved being surrounded by family and friends during the endless parties of the holidays, but now you’re ready for the relaxation and peace of mind only Texas can provide. Luckily for you, the hard parts of trip planning have already been done — all you gotta do is take a deep breath, get your planner handy and choose how you’d like to indulge yourself at one of these 7 Texas getaways.
Get Refreshed in Nature
Take in the view at Palo Duro Canyon. Picture by Chase Fountain.
If your idea of a getaway is breathing that fresh Texas air, spending hours getting lost in nature, and freedom from the hustle and bustle of life, than these nature getaways are perfect for you.
Palo Duro Cabins:Spend the night in these cabins at Palo Duro Canyon that are basically made of the canyons themselves and you might just have one of the prettiest views in all of Texas. You can hike the canyons if you wish, or just sit out on the porch with a cup of coffee and watch as the sun moves over the canyons. There’s no way to get bored at these cabins.
Canyon of the Eagles Resort:At this resort in Burnet, TX, your days will be filled with hiking through the beautiful Hill Country landscapes of this 940-acre nature park. End your day of hiking and mountain biking with a gourmet dinner and a view of the sunset on the lake at The Overlook restaurant or a “Star party” at the Eagle Eye Observatory.
Dixie Dude Ranch:Mosey on down to Bandera, TX to spend the weekend like a real life cowboy: at a working longhorn and goat ranch that’s been around since 1901! Enjoy a weekend free of stress (and cell phone service), horseback ride or hike through the countryside, sing songs around the campfire and just take in that country air.
Get Pampered at the Spa
Relax by the pool at Travaasa Austin. Picture by Travaasa Experiential Resorts.
Does just the thought of spending the day sitting around, eating desserts and being treated like royalty instantly put you at ease? Than read on, my friend.
Travaasa Austin:This spa in the heart of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve in Austin has everything you need to relax your body and mind, but it specializes in providing you with awesome experiences. Along with the offerings of a full-service spa (including a men’s spa package for those who need a mancation, complete with Texas craft beer on tap), Travaasa also offers a full range of fun adventures from cooking sessions and Texas Two-Step lessons to archery and hatchet-throwing that’ll have you checking things off your bucket list.
Trellis Spa:If you’re looking for the more traditional spa experience filled with massages, hot tubs and not having to lift a finger (except during your manicure), than this full-service spa in Houston is for you. Sure, it’s pricey, but it’s got all you need to unwind, and there are even packages for men, teens and pregnant women — so everyone can take a breather! And if at the end of the day, you’re just too relaxed to travel home, it’s connected to the luxury Houstonian Hotel!
Get Lost in the City
Stay on the Riverwalk at Hotel Contessa. Picture by Hotel Contessa.
If your idea of unwinding is being surrounded by skyscrapers and having tons of eclectic restaurants, shops and clubs at your fingertips, than get yourself to one of these urban getaways stat!
Hotel Contessa:Enjoy a romantic getaway at this beautiful luxury hotel on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Saunter along the river, gorge yourself on some of the best Tex-Mex in the state or just enjoy relaxing in a cushy bed with a stunning view of the Riverwalk from your hotel room. The hotel has tons of room discounts and packages, including specials just for being a Texan and packages that include a luxury suite, champagne and chocolate (my three favorite things…)
The Ashton Hotel:This hotel with a history in downtown Fort Worth, is right in the center of all the fun. Walking distance from Sundance Square, the mellow Scat Jazz Club and Bass Hall, you can choose to explore the city and catch a show or stay cozy in the hotel. Make reservations to sip tea and munch on desserts at the Winter’s Tea each Saturday (pinkies up!).
As we start out the New Year at The Daytripper Headquarters, we are super excited about traveling across Texas to make new episodes and explore exciting new cities. But we’ve also made a list with a few travel ambitions of our own for 2017. The crew has spoken and from right here in Texas to far across the sea, here are some of the places we each hope to explore this year!
Chet – “I want to visit the Rock Art in the Lower Pecos River Valley. It’s some of the best rock art in the country!” (You’ll find these paintings dating back thousands of years at the junction of the Pecos River and Rio Grande in Southwest Texas.)
Tosha – “My family wants to travel to Yellowstone National Park to see the Total Solar Eclipse on August 21.” (Fun fact: The last total eclipse visible from the United States was in 1979, and you’ll only be able to see the whole eclipse from certain states. Check out this map to find the best spots to watch it!)
Daniel – “I’d love to take my wife to Ireland so we can explore our Irish roots.”
Linsey – “I want to spend a weekend in Comfort, TX. The main street has been upcycled to form this really vibrant little town where you’ll find an old gas station that’s now a pizza parlor and the 130-year-old Hotel Faust is still running. It’s kind of a cool mixture of Gruene and Fredericksburg.”
Richie – “I’d love to travel to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. I want to see Neil Armstrong’s moon walker suit, I wanna see Apollo capsules and I wanna see an SR-71 Blackbird.”
Karey – “My wife and I want to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico. That seems like a really pretty place!”
Todd – “I want to go to Lufkin. We have filmed an episode there and I’d love to go back and get lost in the East Texas Pines. Find a quiet B&B and enjoy some down time, good food and beautiful wooded scenery.”
We encourage you to create your own 2017 Travel Bucket List to help you keep on trippin’ to new places! And stay tuned for an upcoming podcast with Chet, Todd and Texas Monthly‘s Jordan Breal for more places that are Bucket List worthy in Texas!
We’re giving YOU the chance to grab the wheel and choose where we film the Season 8 Finale. All you gotta do is vote for a Texas town that you’d like to see an episode on in the Google form below and stay tuned on our website to see which town wins! The episode will air in Summer 2017. Good luck!

One wintry night, I found myself wandering through a magical land, surrounded by colorful shops glistening with thousands of lights and overflowing with candy canes, toys and all sorts of Christmas marvels. The sweet smell of hot cocoa wafted through the air and in the distance, I heard the joyous sound of children’s laughter as they were filled with wonder and cheer at the sight of Old Saint Nick, himself. Soon, a slow powder of snow drifted through the air, covering the village.
No, I hadn’t trekked to the North Pole, but somewhere much closer and alot more Texan — Santa’s Wonderland in College Station.
This 69-acre Christmas village has been bringing the magic of the North Pole to Texas since 1998, and it’s enchanting enough to bring out the Christmas cheer in even the Scrooge-iest of us all.
When you first enter, you’re greeted by the first million lights (possibly an exaggeration…) of the over three million total lights adorning every inch of the Old West village.
Inside the village is everything you’d need for a true Texified Christmas. Dueling guitarists and jammin’ fiddlers play twangy Christmas carols as cowboys and cowgirls sing along. The Town Market and Trading Post provide visitors with the gift shopping of their dreams – offering Texas goodies and Christmas-themed items galore. Radiantly shinning at the far end of the village is the iconic Texas Flag lights display perfect for festive photo-taking.
It’s truly overwhelming in the best way — but that’s not even the best part! If you walk past the Food Village (yes, you read that right — an entire village with every kind of glorious food imaginable) you’ll find the main attraction: a wondrous hayride through a mile of dazzling lights and Christmas scenes.
Along the trail, you’ll be immersed into a spectacular world, lit up with Christmas favorites like glimmering snow scenes, reindeer and Santa’s Workshop!
You’ll see all kinds of animals from dolphins leaping out of the lake to alligators swimming in a stream and squirrels climbing a tree. Since everything’s bigger in Texas (especially Christmas), along the lights trail you’ll find Holiday fun with a Texas twist. See the cannons roar in front of the Alamo, giant Texas flag-decorated cowboy boots and more!
To remind us all of the reason for our Christmas cheer, the lights trail features a glowing portrayal of Jesus’s life and death. You’ll see the Savior born in the manger in the Nativity Scene, as well as the cross where Christ was crucified, an empty tomb and the risen Christ surrounded by a host of angels. It’s a chilling moment as the hayride slows down for you to take it in.
Tip: Be prepared for long lines to this popular hayride and get in line as early as possible to avoid a super long wait. And if you really hate lines, you can buy a carriage ride in the park for a smaller wait time and more private experience. Check Santa’s Wonderland’s Facebook for crowd forecasts.
If you’re feeling cold after the hayride, cozy up to one of the campfires all around the park or roast marshmallows and hot dogs over the fires at the roasting pits (which just happen to be next to a giant screen playing Christmas movies on loop).
Nothing gets you toasty faster than roasting marshmallows by the fire while watching Christmas Vacation.
Add to the fun: towering slides, a petting zoo and a life-sized snow globe that you can climb in to, and you’ve got yourself one Texas-sized Christmas celebration! Yet, as if over 3 million dazzling lights and hours of seasonal fun weren’t magical enough, each night it SNOWS in the main village as Santa rides in on a horse wearing his finest cowboy hat!
Head to College Station to find yourself walking through a TEXAS Wonderland for the Christmas experience of a lifetime! In the words of Santa’s Wonderland: “Merry Christmas to y’all and to y’all a Goodnight!”
Santa’s Wonderland is open daily (including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve) until January 1. Purchase tickets online or at the gate.
We recently tripped to Central San Antonio to film an episode for Season 8 and had a blast! We paid our respects at the Alamo, stuffed ourselves with classic Tex-Mex, cruised down the River Walk and more! Here’s a peek behind the scenes at our wild time!
Here at The Daytripper we have the privilege of partnering with some of the most amazing folks in the Lone Star State – like the good folks at Chevrolet. These guys understand not just what it means to be a Texan, but what it means to give back. With that being said – check this out…
Wednesday, Chevrolet surprised about 200 children at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas by transforming their Mesquite, TX Club into a magical “Pop-Up North Pole,” complete with real snow, sledding, cookie decorating, winter-themed games, and even special presents to give the kids a once-in-a-lifetime Holiday experience!
It’s that time of year when “The Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas” gets a big dose of Christmas cheer. Walking down the busy Georgetown sidewalks surrounded by wonder and lights feels like stepping into a classic Christmas carol, and at the top of every hour, if you listen closely, you’ll even hear silver bells ringing in the distance.
Every building of the Square is dazzling with hundreds of lights, wreaths and bows, transforming it into a magical Christmas wonderland. In the center of it all, the Courthouse glows with red and green lights, as well as 5 Christmas trees. It’s the ideal family photo-op. While exploring the lawn, you’ll find that even Mr. Dan Moody’s statue has a scarf to help him feel festive!
The canopies of trees over each walkway are wrapped with twinkling lights, and the sidewalks gleam in the light of old-fashioned street lamps donning Holiday wreaths. It’s like jumping straight into a Currier and Ives postcard — the only thing missing is a blanket of snow! (And as you know, we don’t get that much in Texas…)
The window displays in each store are like something out of a storybook. You’ll find the wildly decorated Gumbo’s with cheetah-print wrapped columns and giant Nutcracker soldiers. Look in the windows of the restaurant to find extravagant Christmas trees with little gifts underneath!
The extravagant Christmas display in Diva’s windows are just a taste of what awaits inside. Every inch of the showroom has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland with ornaments and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and every color of Christmas tree decorating the store. Yule love their Christmas decor!
Pop by Pink Poppy, which is decked out in funky snowflakes and fabulous sparkly trees, to see the Christmas Pig riding his bike — he’s gotta get to the North Pole to help Santa with all those gifts!
On your Christmas journey, you can grab some chocolate treats at Sweet Serendipity and see the Christmas Eve scene in their windows. While you’re there, say “hello” to Three-Legged Willie who’s hanging out in front of the Williamson Museum.
If you find yourself getting chilly on your stroll through the Square, stop at Cianfrani Coffee Company, a favorite local hangout, for a cup of hot cocoa or a toasty chai latte. At Mikey V’s Hot Sauce Shop, you can thaw out with taste bud-kickin’ hot sauces that’ll keep you nice and warm!
Georgetown is an amazing place to have holiday fun with your family this season.
