Top 10 Outdoor Towns in Texas [ [link removed] ]
*Hi friends and readers, *
As we round out the first full week of the new year, we’re excited to introduce a brand new section to the magazine! ??
In 2026, we’ll be counting down the *Top 10 Outdoor Towns in Texas*. Magazine subscribers will be the first to find out what our perhaps hotly contested town selections are!
This special feature section will highlight communities where adventure is synonymous with everyday life. From trails and rivers to wide-open skies and local flavor, each town on our list offers something worth exploring.
Kicking things off this month at *No. 10 is Llano, Texas*!
You can read more about why Llano made our Top Outdoor Towns in Texas list here [ [link removed] ] and in the Jan/Feb issue. Make sure you’re subscribed to be the first to find out which town we fought over collectively decided on for No. 9.

We rounded up a few stories to help spark your imagination below. May these ideas inspire you to explore your own backyard a bit more this year, plan a memorable weekend escape, or start building a Texas-sized travel bucket list. After all, it's a big state and you don’t have to travel far to find something worth bragging about.
