| Austin, the state capital of Texas and seat of Travis County,
is the fourth-largest city in Texas. It is situated in the south-central
part of the state on the Colorado River. |
| The site was called Waterloo in 1838, and in 1839 it was incorporated
as a city and chosen as the capital of the independent Republic
of Texas. Waterloo was renamed Austin in honor of Stephen F.
Austin, the founder of the Texas Republic. It became the permanent
capital of the state of Texas in 1870. |
| Texas is a vast state— 267,000 square miles to be exact—
with abundant outdoor recreational opportunities. As part of
your trip to the 17th National Trails Symposium, visit one of
Texas' 120 state parks and historic sites. Head on over to the
coast and catch some rays (or fish). Head westward and camp
in one of America's favorite national parks— Big Bend
National Park. Tour the Central Texas Hill Country, best described
as "music, rolling hills, spring-fed rivers, and dude ranches."
There is something for everyone in Texas. |
