We're taking you on the scenic route.
As a reader of Texas Highways, you probably share our appreciation for taking the long way home. This love of exploring Texas’ ever-evolving array of attractions is the inspiration for The Scenic Route, our new email newsletter. We’ve sent you something similar to this email for the past several months, in place of our events roundup. In addition to bringing back the events email, we’re now making The Scenic Route a permanent offering, giving you a selection of travel stories and timely news articles from our website.
If you aren’t interested in receiving The Scenic Route, you can manage your account via the “Preferences” link at the bottom of this email. We hope you enjoy reading our new newsletter, along with your print edition of Texas Highways. As always, please let us know if there’s anything else you’d like to see.
