Obviously I prefer east texas...but I really do agree that east texas has very comparable hills to those in the hill country...although they are typically obstructed by trees... particularly upper east texas around tyler, jacksonville, frankston, palestine and over to nacogdoces....and even parts of north texas proper have comparable hills to the hill country

so in essence its not that the hill country has much taller hills as much as it just has shorter vegetation..which means the real question would have to be: which area has better vistas/panoramas...in which case the hill country should win hands down, just because the shorter sparse vegetation will allow you to see for a longer distance. ....plus I dont exactly like to see for miles and miles...it starts to feel desolate to me...in addition to the fact that i just dont like scrubby, dry vegetation in general...so I prefer the trees & hills of east texas...

I prefer the scenery of East Texas. The Hill Country is too scrubby for my taste.

Not all of central texas is scrubby. The eastern portion can be as green as east texas not as lush though.

You still havent explained what you mean. What distinction do you make between green and lush?

East Texas gets more rain and has more trees. Thats why i say it's more lush.
