Ah yeah i went camping there once with my Dad, and it is indeed a gorgeous spot. Palo Duro gets forgotten about being the 2nd biggest canyon in the nation.

But thats a good example since its in the pandhandle, which is probably one of the least populated areas. There's loads of dope caves and caverns in central texas too that we take pride in. The thing is lots of these things aren't super close to major cities. When you live in Dallas for example, you're pretty far from cool nature. The urban and suburban sprawl doesn't help either.

I love our Texas gems but none of it i would say compares to the countless images i see in this sub.

Hidden gems for sure. What areas did you like?

Living in texas with nothing but rolling farmland between cities (barring the hill gorgeous country), i couldn't imagine waking up one weekend and taking a short trip to go hike and see this. What a treat. Wish i could move.

When i visited Seattle i was not impressed with the food scene. The people i traveled with did not like asian cuisine, so i couldnt get a good taste of those options (as i do enjoy that food), though there are PLENTY.

Next to no mexican/texmex, and what is there is not good.

Plenty of seafood, and health concious dining as well, but i guess it felt like there was a lack of guilty pleasure eating. It felt like a very health-concious city in general.

Agreed. I joined to get an idea of Washington before i took a trip there a few weeks ago. Stayed subbed for the beautiful pictures. Beautiful state.
