The second largest state in America, Texas is home to a vast array of hidden treasures waiting just off the beaten path.

Completely reimagined for a new generation of road-trip takers and explorers, Backroads of Texas is lavishly illustrated with photographs, maps, and vintage advertising of Texas’s many scenic, historic, and cultural attractions.
