3 Classic Texas Experiences to Do This Fall
If you’ve ever wanted a quintessential Texas experience, the fall is the perfect time to visit the Lone Star State. At Commerce Auto Rental, we help people in the Arlington area get on the road in a car rental for classic Texas vibes. Here are three iconic activities to make your fall trip a memorable one.
1. Attend a College Football Game
Nothing says Texas like a college football game under the autumn sky. In November, you can catch games featuring local teams like the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth.
You’ll quickly learn that football isn’t just a game in Texas; it’s a full-day event filled with tailgating, barbecues, and fun. Make sure to rent an SUV or pickup truck to carry all your tailgating essentials.
2. Visit a Texas Ranch
It’s one thing to see what it’s like to live on a ranch on television or in the movies, but it’s another thing to actually experience life on a Texas ranch. We suggest visiting Wildcatter Ranch and Resort, less than two hours away and near the Brazos River. The cooler November weather makes it an ideal time to visit this real working ranch.
You’ll have plenty to do there, with options for archery, skeet shooting, horseback riding, fishing, and hiking. There’s even a restaurant on-site that’s known for its steak. If you want a taste of the traditional Texas lifestyle, this is at the top of the list.
3. Explore State Parks
Texas is home to many stunning state parks perfect for a fall hike or picnic.
Dinosaur Valley State Park
At Dinosaur Valley State Park, you can walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs. This unique experience is perfect for children and adults alike, offering a chance to see the dinosaur tracks in the bed of the Paluxy River. Once you’ve seen the prehistoric footprints, you can hike, bike, or picnic the rest of the day.
Cedar Hill State Park
To visit another area park, travel southeast of Arlington to Cedar Hill State Park. This area is perfect for people who love to hike or ride mountain bikes through beautiful rolling hills and forests. If you want water, there’s plenty to do near Joe Pool Lake.
November is a beautiful time to experience Texas’s rich culture and traditions. If you’re ready to make lasting memories in Texas this fall, our trusted team is here to help you find the right rental for your needs.
