This 9-day trip focuses on two Texas cities -- Austin and San Antonio -- as well as the scenic Texas Hill Country, and the mountainous and sparsely populated West Texas region. Along the way, it visits both of the National Parks in Texas, a hike to the Lone Star State's highest point, and a canoe trip along the Rio Grande.
