Whether you’re a born-and-bred Texan or just got here as fast as you could, there are a number of things you need to experience in our great state before calling yourself a True Texan. In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we curated a list of 50 True Texas Adventures, from natural wonders, to iconic attractions, to historical landmarks. Our guide will have you straddling two states at once in Texarkana, eating your weight in barbecue in Lockhart, and taking in the view from the historic Port Isabel Lighthouse. The rest of the issue includes an exploration of McKittrick Canyon in far West Texas, a look into the daring world of rock crawling, and a profile of the sanctuaries that care for the state’s abandoned horses.
