One Texas Town is the Best Place to See Fall Foliage
Fall can't come any sooner in Texas! I'm sure many of us in the lone star state are already dreaming of cooler days. While many states up north are counting down the days to when the leaves change colors, some of us here in Texas are not so lucky.
I'm in El Paso, and we don't call it the Sun City for nothing! It's hard to be a person who loves autumn/fall (whichever you prefer) while living in El Paso! So when the fall season finally hits, I know that a trip out of El Paso is worth it to experience some falling leaves!
Now, one Texas town has been deemed the perfect place to see fall foliage. According to Mental Floss, Garner State Park is deemed one of the "best leaf-peeping destination in the U.S."!
And after looking through some photos, yeah, Garner State Park will totally transport you and make you believe you're not in Texas anymore!
Garner State Park in Texas
Garner State Park is one of the most popular and picturesque state parks in Texas, located in the Hill Country region, about 90 miles west of San Antonio, near the town of Concan. Established in 1941, the park covers over 1,774 acres and offers a wide variety of outdoor activities.
One of the most unique things about this park? Their dances! According to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department:
Since the 1940s, young folks (and the young at heart) have been gathering at the park’s concession building on summer evenings for a jukebox dance. They still do so today.
Grab your favorite sweater and plan a road trip, because the leaves will be changing colors soon!
