Adventure Travel - Texas

By Lanette Higham

 

Texas is huge and big is better just ask any Texan. Rumors of gold take treasure hunters to Padre Island. You will only be able to visit a section of Texas on a week vacation. Each area offers a different ecosystem, always great regional cuisine, and a Texan perspective.

The golf coast area of Texas is for the sun worshiper in you. You will find white sandy dunes, sea turtles, a few coyotes, rodents and fun in the sun. Mustang State Park will give you a prime example of the dunes that can reach heights of thirty five feet. There are armadillo here, wild mustangs that were brought from Spain and the Native Americans once inhabited this shelter island. You can paddle around the island through fish pass into Corpus Christi Bay and then back through Wilson Cut, it is a long journey, worth the effort to see the birds, wild life and perhaps a glimpse of the 600 species of fish that inhabit the water.<<more>>
