It wouldn’t be the end of the year without some kind of top 10 list, would it? We thought it would be fitting to pass along some of our favorite Texas travel websites, ones whose excellent writing motivates us when we sit down at the keyboards and whose coverage encourages us to get out and explore the Lone Star State even more:
We’re longtime fans of Bob Phillips and his Texas Country Reporter television show; visit his website to see some of his videos online, check his festivals section, and see the upcoming schedule for his shows.
June Naylor’s Texas Highways Blog
We always enjoy June’s articles in Texas Highways as well as her many guidebooks to the state, and we love following along with her state travels in this frequently-updated blog.
This excellent online look at Texas, also written by a Texas-based husband and wife team, is a great resource for learning about the state’s many small towns and the history behind the places you might otherwise miss on your drive across the state.
