Think you need PTO to take a trip?

Not necessarily.

Leave after work Friday, spend Saturday somewhere different, take your time Sunday morning, and still be home before Monday.

We mapped out three easy Texas weekend ideas from Austin, Dallas, and Houston to show just how doable two nights away can be.

Drive times are approximate and will vary with traffic.

The best fall trips are the ones you plan a little ahead.

Fall is here, but across much of Texas the heat is only beginning to ease and peak color is still weeks away.

We gathered five early fall escapes worth getting on the calendar now, each in a different corner of the state.

Swipe through to find the one that suits your fall best, then choose your dates while the weekends that work for you are still available.

A little planning goes a long way. Popular Texas state parks can reach capacity, so advance day passes are recommended to guarantee entry. If Glen Rose is your pick, check current dinosaur track visibility and reserve Fossil Rim tickets before visiting.

Save this post for your fall planning.

Fall is the season to plan the escape that actually sounds like you.

Some of us want to cozy up, some want a trail, some want a Main Street to wander, and some follow the food.

Find your type on the swipe, then see where it leads:

🛋️ A, Cozy Homebody: Salado for historic inns, art galleries, Main Street, and slow walks near Salado Creek.

🥾 B, Wide Open Wanderer: Guadalupe Mountains National Park for McKittrick Canyon’s fall color, often seen in late October or early November depending on conditions. Prepared hikers can also tackle Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas.

🏛️ C, Small Town Charmer: Waxahachie for its historic downtown, shops, and Richardsonian Romanesque Ellis County Courthouse.

🦪 D, Easygoing Foodie: Rockport Fulton for Gulf Coast seafood, harbor views, and slower waterfront time.

Which one are you? Comment your letter and save this for fall planning.

Check current park alerts before visiting Guadalupe Mountains.

Trade city noise for cooler air and river views this fall.

Lost Maples and Garner State Park offer two Hill Country escapes worth planning ahead for.

🍁 Lost Maples: Hike limestone canyons along the Sabinal River. The bigtooth maples typically change from late October through early November, depending on weather.

🏞️ Garner State Park: Enjoy the Frio River if conditions allow, climb Old Baldy, and watch the cypress trees shift toward bronze and orange.

Both parks fill quickly. Advance day-use reservations are strongly recommended to guarantee entry.

Check foliage reports, river conditions, and park alerts before visiting. Book your stay directly with the property so you can confirm current details at the source.
