Simply getting outside and being in nature is one of the best things to do with your free time, and this area is filled with beautiful parks, hiking areas and Lakes.

So many options less than an hour away from Nevada Texas open up tons of opportunities for day tripping.
Enjoy the beautiful Dallas Arboretum and see what is in bloom, then take in a concert at the American Airlines Center.
If art is your thing, you will discover you will need more than a day to explore all this area has to offer, beginning with the Dallas Museum of Art and all of its changing exhibitions.

Hidden Gems in Northern Texas
Everything’s BIGGER in Texas, right?
Well for the most part yes, however, some of the best things about this state would be the friendly people and the quaint small towns that are definitely worth exploring.
Case in point, the beautiful little town of Plano Texas with its historic downtown area, authentic Texas BBQ restaurants and beautiful parks offering a much slower pace than the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
McKinney is another small town worth checking out more than once.
Enjoy the historic downtown area that is home to shopping, local art, amazing restaurants, breweries, and wineries, all with that BIG Texas friendliness and small-town charm.
Did you know that Grapevine is officially called the “Christmas Capital” of Texas?
This beautiful little town holds over 1400 events in its 40-day Christmas season along with hosting the largest holiday parade in North Texas with more than 100 floats!
However, there is plenty to see and do during the rest of the year in this charming little town with rich history, wineries, and of course Lake Grapevine, where you can hike, bike, or even book a little cruise.
