This scenic Texas park is somewhere about halfway between Houston and San Antonio and makes for a perfect side trip on the relatively short drive between the two cities.
On this particular trip, my presenter and I were leaving Houston and needed to stop and take pictures of the beautiful sunset. The exit we pulled off on just happened to have a sign for Gonzales’ Palmetto State Park, so we decided to give it a shot.
Driving down a windy, dusty road, we found this beautiful overlook at the entrance to the park, spent quite a bit of time driving through the park with cameras in hand, and finally found our way, along another set of twisty, dirt roads, back to the highway.
This is a detour worth looking into if you’re not in a huge hurry to get to your hotel and your presenter is an adventurous one.
