Garner State Park
234 RR 1050, Concan, (830) 232-6132, tpwd.texas.gov
Garner is popular during summer for a reason — have you ever floated the Frio River? Even beyond summer, Garner is a must-see during fall. The foliage here actually changes, and with cooler fall weather and the silhouette of limestone mountain, Old Baldy, overlooking the park, it’s easy to forget you’re still in Texas!

Guadalupe Mountains National Park
400 Pine Canyon, Salt Flat, (915) 828-3251, nps.gov/gumo
Taking up a massive area in Texas and up to the New Mexico border, this national park should definitely be a bucket list item for true Texan explorers. Perhaps surprisingly, you’ll be able to see fall colors here. And you’ll also be able to hit up the sand dunes if you go further inside the park (it’s seriously that huge). Of course, there’s plenty of land waiting to be trekked. Wilderness awaits you here.
