When do you usually see the first Palm tree like when heading south from flagstaff to Phoenix or going from Albuquerque to Las cruces or even from Atlanta to Tallahassee? It's always awesome to know that you are crossing to the next growing zone where Palm trees can be planted
On this coast there are palm trees all the way into Canada. Not as many, or as many varieties, as in warmer areas, but palm trees just aren't that uncommon.

On I-15, the first palms are in St George, UT (near the AZ border), on I-17, first palms are in Camp Verde, AZ, and on I-25, the first palms are in Truth or Consequences, but Hatch has more than ToC
On I-75 South of Metro Atlanta it's going to be around Macon, but those are planted / cultivated. You will not see natural plam trees until you get near the Florida border at Valdosta, or down along the Georgia coast.
Austin and San Antonio have an abundance of palm trees as well although they are not as common as areas in Houston and along the Gulf Coast. In Dallas/Fort Worth only a few varieties exist (such as european fan Palms and sabal palms) because of the climate.
