The Scenic Gulf Coast
Houston's metro area is situated on the Gulf Coast, a crossroad where the landscape dominated by coastal prairies ambles into eastern hardwood swamps that when dried up become coniferous forest which slowly melt into the southwestern desert.
The amount of ecological diversity in Texas is amazing. You can find everything from deserts to beaches and hills that graduate into mountain peaks that climb to over 8,000 feet. Couples can only see a small part of the state’s natural beauty during a daytrip. To see more of it indulge yourself with a Texas getaway for overnight or longer.
