🌵 Cool Spots in the Lone Star State

Hello Travelers,

Forget the stereotypes of tumbleweeds and BBQ pits (well, keep the BBQ). Texas is a state that hides some jaw-dropping, camera-stealing landscapes and culture-rich gems.

1. Hamilton Pool Preserve

A collapsed grotto created this turquoise swimming hole framed by a 50-foot waterfall. The overhanging limestone creates an almost cinematic backdrop—like nature designed its own infinity pool.

2. Caddo Lake 

A labyrinth of bayous and sloughs with cypress trees draped in Spanish moss. Early mornings here look like a scene from a fantasy film.

3. Gorman Falls (Colorado Bend State Park)

A 70-foot cascade tumbles down over vibrant moss-covered rock into a lush canyon—an unexpected pocket of rainforest in Texas hill country.

4. Jacob’s Well

A crystal-clear artesian spring revealing a deep underwater shaft that feels bottomless.

5. Santa Elena Canyon (Big Bend)

The Rio Grande slices through 1,500-foot vertical cliffs, creating a dramatic border between the U.S. and Mexico.

These five wonders prove that Texas isn’t just big, it’s breathtakingly diverse. Each one is a completely different world, waiting for you to step in and explore.

Happy Travels!
