We are wanting to relocate to Texas from Colorado and are looking for a town with rolling hills and lots of trees , we are so used to the beautiful outdoors here in Colorado and we want beautiful surroundings in Texas but don't know where to start. Any suggestions out there?

I think you may have to stay in Colorado for the scenery! Texas has its beauty but nothing like Colorado!

By the way, if you're in rolling hills with lots of big trees ... you can't see the hills for the trees! (almost plagerism there).

Yes Colorado has the scenery but we are definitely moving so I guess which place has the prettiest rolling hills? We just don't want flat lands.

East Texas rolls some with trees. Real trees.


Hill Country rolls better but the trees are more like bushes.


West Texas rolls the best but no trees ... but some great cacti!

Bastrop comes to mind immediately.

Another suggestion would be around the Sam Houston National Forest areas.

Hill Country. Or Big Bend, but that's sort of off the beaten path. Some parts of East Texas.

You typically get one or the other but not both with Texas. The Cross Timbers region has a little of both but the trees are mostly old-growth oak and mesquite trees.

If you want thick forest you'll have to go to the Piney Woods - but you won't get much in the way of hills.

You can have rolling hills and trees in East Texas. You just need to not be in the coastal region of East Texas but further north. I grew up in that neck of the woods, and I assure you there are rolling hills (not mountains, but rolling enough, with enough iron in them, to mess up radio reception in my younger days) and heavy woods with a variety of trees (spent a lot of time rambling them as a child).
