Texas

Located in the South Central Region of the United States, Texas is the second largest and most populated state in the country. To give you an idea of just how big Texas actually is, it is twice as large as Germany and Japan. In fact, if Texas was a country — it would be the 39th largest country in the world.

Most people picture Texas endless heat and deserts. In reality, less than ten percent of Texas is desert. Most of its landscapes are prairies, grasslands, forests, even great waters. Home to some of the greatest biodiversity of birds in the country, Texas boasts a surprising and exciting range of wildlife.

Texas is also large enough to have multiple climate zones within it. A large part of it is humid subtropical. There are spots of it that are hot deserts, but the rest of Texas are either cold and warm semi-arid. Texas even has cold deserts.

The variety of climate and landscapes makes Texas such an exciting destination for outdoors adventurers.
