The first day of autumn is in late September. That means we still have time to take advantage of the great road trip destinations around Houston. If you want to experience something new this summer, take on these trips:

  1. Brazos Bend State Park

If you’re looking for an easy trip to take on, head to Brazos Bend State Park, about an hour’s drive away from Houston. There’s plenty to do at this state park, from taking on 37 miles of trails to fishing. Make the most of your trip by bringing a tent and camping for the night.

  1. San Marcos

It takes about 2.5-3 hours to drive to San Marcos, but the trip is worth it if you’re looking for a great getaway. This hip town is a fun place to spend the weekend kayaking, visiting craft breweries, and enjoying a rich nightlife. This vacation destination is best enjoyed with friends who are able to let go and have a good time.

  1. New Orleans

Plan a road trip you and your friends won’t forget in New Orleans. Only a little over five hours away, New Orleans is one of the most exciting cultural hubs in the southern United States. Whether you stick with ever-exciting Bourbon Street or get to know New Orleans more personally by exploring its less-frequented attractions, the Big Easy makes it easy to find a good time.

Whether you’re looking to get back to nature or you want to explore different city streets, these summertime road trip destinations have everything you need to make the most of your summer. Explore, experience, and enjoy everything Texas has to offer.
