Texas brings to mind days of cowboys crossing large plains and fields, driving their herds of cattle on ranges the sizes of some small countries. Texas also brings to mind The Alamo and the tragic end to many lives that brought about the beginning of Texas as a part of the United States, a battle that was multicultural on behalf of the United States but when people of Native Americans, Native Mexicans banded together to fight for a way of life that was more important to them then their own lives. Water sports both on the Ocean and inland on lakes and rivers are abundant. Float down the Rio Grande or spend a day in the Monahans Sandhills where there are 4,000 acre's of wind-sculptured sand dunes which resemble the Sahara Desert.
In Hueco is a 860 acre park that is a rock-climbers paradise.
Just outside of El Paso is the Texas Mountain trail that is filled with Mexican, American and Native American history.
