If you want to âDiscover Texasâ hidden gem then this is the book.

I plan to use this interactive guide to plan my next trip to Texas.This is as if I am exploring the region with the help of a local guide.

Amazing guide for discovering Texas! This book is packed with hidden gems, from scenic trails to mouth-watering BBQ spots. Perfect for both adventurers and foodies looking to explore the true soul of Texas. Highly recommended for unique travel inspiration!

An amazing guide to the diverse landscapes of Texas, the food, the culture, and the entertainment. I canât wait to travel from the Blue Hole to the Inner Space Cavern, to the Caverns of Sonora, and then climb the Guadalupe Peak. Then, take a kayak and explore Lake Amistad’s hidden canyons, and as if thatâs not enough, grab a bike and cycle the Gulf Coast, finally relaxing amongst the art in Deep Ellum in Dallas.

This book is immensely readable. It covers all the best parts of Texas, creating dreams in the reader’s mind of the incredible world that Texas is unto itself. The author takes the reader through all the cultural elements that make Texas shine from the historical and community aspects, to its natural wonders, and of course, the food. I don’t know when I’ll be able to take a trip to Texas myself, but the descriptive way in which the writer writes makes the reader know that Texans care for their culinary specialties, even without being there oneselfâI’m quite jealous for those who get to experience it firsthand! The author also shows respect for the world we live in by interweaving best practices about how to care for the natural parts of the land, most untouched by human influence and how to preserve such wonders.In many ways, this book deserves a five star review; however, there are a few areas where there is room for improvement. The book does not read as a dry, boring travel guide filled with mere facts and figures. In a real sense, it is a timeless book for anyone, whether making a real travel plans or only visiting in one’s mind’s eye. For this reason, I highly recommend the book. However, there are a couple areas I think could be better. The book includes images that are quite beautiful; however, I can’t tell if all of them are real images or notâall of them are exquisite, but I can’t tell for some whether it is the photography style or the smoothness of certain images, but some don’t look quite 100% real to me. It can be hard to tell these days! My apologies if I’m wrong, and they are indeed all genuine!The other note is more intuitive rather than something that I can’t point to definitively, but after having gone through the book, especially with its wonderful writing style, it seemed that something was missing about it. What that is is more of a narrative element in my opinion. It’s as though the scenes are described with incredible detail, and I’m going through the book waiting for characters to fill the scenes. So, it would be helpful for me if there were personal stories interspersed throughout, whether the author’s or of those he has met along his journey.All that being said, this truly is an excellent book, and readers will enjoy the tour of Texas that this book has to offer!

Great Guide to Texas!
Wow! Texas has a lot to offer! I’ve been thinking about visiting there for a long time, but wasn’t sure where to start. This book really helped with that. Texas truly has something for everyone. My favorite sections were the ones guiding me where to pick fresh berries, and where to find great hikes, as those are some of my favorite things to do. I also found some good info on the music scene, which sounds amazing. I was definitely appreciative for some tips on where to find some great barbeque, as that’s a must do for me when I get to visit! Great read, very helpful!

A great guide and some neat facts
I travel to Texas fairly often for work and wanted to see more than just the office space I work in so I got this book. Its Fantastic! Not only travel tips broken out by region but some fun facts along the way.

Not A Guide But A Texas Travel System!
I love ghost towns. There is something poetic and haunting about a deserted city. The lives that have once been lived are no longer. In “The Best Texas Bucket List,” there’s an entire chapter devoted to some of the ghost towns of Texas. There are even suggested ghost town biking adventures in another chapter. This book is not your typical thin guide with a list of location sites but a 400-page journey through some of the stateâs best-kept secrets. Thereâs everything for the outdoor adventurer, foodie, art aficionado, nature lover, traveler, and more. It uncovers the history, facts, climate, regions, and legends as the native author guides you through his state. There are fantastic full-color images, additional links, maps, and an interactive website to map out my trip so I donât miss anything! I love the visually stunning website as it expands the book with videos, galleries, mapping, diagrams, and a travel journal.

The Best Texas Bucket List & Travel Guide
The Best Texas Bucket List and Travel Guide by Benjamin Dane is a MUST HAVE for 4 different groups of people:1. Texans – Explore your home state!2. Visitors to Texas – Texas is a big state, so this is the perfect guide to plan a vacation.3. Potential New Residents – Whether you already have a specific area or undecided, you can make a more informed decision on where to settle.4. Armchair Travelers – Just because you can’t travel now, you can still dream. The beautiful photos and descriptions make it a pleasure to explore Texas from home.You can subdivide to smaller categories as well. “The Best Texas Bucket List” is already #1 in Kayaking [at the time this review was written]! Whether your interest is in Biking, Spelunking, Cuisine, Music, Rodeo, ordinary or exotic, there’s a chance that you will find it! Texas is vastand varied, from the dense forests of the east to the sprawling deserts of the west. Each region presents unique wonders, challenges, and opportunities for the eager traveler.Texas is divided into seven regions: Piney Woods, Panhandle Plains, Prairies and Lakes, Hill Country, Gulf Coast, Big Bend Country, and South Texas Plains. The geography ranges from the lush Piney Woods in the east to the rugged beauty of the Big Bend Country in the west. Each region has a distinct climate, from humid subtropical in the Gulf Coast to arid desert in the Big Bend. Dane does not touch on some areas, like famous historical spots, the Houston Space Center, or the various sports teams, but he shares many other areas that should not be missed. The interactive website is a huge bonus for discovering locations with maps, visuals, and help in planning the perfect itinerary.One of my favorite parts of the book is that you will also get access to his interactive website! The photos, the descriptions, and all-important links to help you plan your visit. Speaking of planning, you will love the itinerary! Decide where you want to visit, and you are given the locations of each. I have ridden across Texas, and it always involved 1 or 2 overnight stays even if you aren’t sight-seeing! There are also Travel Tips that come in handy.My dad was raised in Texas, so I enjoyed learning even more about the state he loved dearly. We visited several times beside the driving through on longer trips to other destinations, but I learned so much more about areas I missed through the book and website. It’s available in Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle. I highly recommend The Best Texas Bucket List and Travel Guide: Discover Hidden Gems with Interactive Visuals and Trip Planning… and for you to explore Texas!
