Nothing Says "Texas" Like a Good Pair of Boots

Cowboys and Texas are almost synonymous. You really can't have one without the other. And other than his horse, there is only one thing a real Texas cowboy can't do without ... his boots. These days, you don't have to be a cowboy to enjoy the feel of a good pair of boots. But if you don't want to wear them, you can still see them in just about any town along the Colorado River Trail.

There Are Still Cowboys in Texas

Yes, Virginia, there are still cowboys in Texas. And there always will be. This candid shot was taken of a cowboy who was taking a breather in front of his pickup truck in downtown Llano, Texas. The Colorado River Trail has lots of places to see cowboys in action. Visit us on the web to find out where. Photo courtesy of MattyV53.
