Following a gratifying year celebrating Texas Highways’ 50th anniversary, we’re excited to kick off the next half-century with an issue full of travel inspiration. Along with our cover story on Where to Stay in 2025, we’re bringing you our annual list of Small Towns to Visit Now early to help spark ideas for this year’s weekend getaways. If you haven’t visited the rest of our website lately, make sure to check out our online-exclusive 2025 Texas Travel Bucket List. That’s also where you’ll find Chet Garner’s monthly Daytripper column as he continues exploring the state.
