How big is Texas? Some 800 miles from north to south and 773 from east to west, and either direction can take 13 hours on the major roadways. If you’ve got the time, Texas has scenic backroads that meander through seven distinct regions. Factor in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and small towns galore, and you’ve got multiple road trip options.
