Westbound to Love's Lookout Park on Lookout Valley Road is a nice little hill (north of Jacksonville, East Texas).

Park Road 5 out of Palo Duro Canyon State Park was 'memorable' (SE of Amarillo).

Surprise! In a part of the state famous for being flat, there are fine climbs up the entire 200 mile long ridge line of the Caprock, from south of Perryton to north of Big Spring.

The 'Government Road' above Ft. Lancaster is a beautiful climb in a place where one wouldn't guess there possibly could be a beautiful climb (east of Sheffield).

The old Bankhead National Highway grade (now effectively the I20 access road) up 'Ranger Hill' is fun (east of Ranger).

Evant offers Langford Cove Road on a small climb up to Gholson Gap and another, better workout up and over 183 to Bee House, although north from there up County 157 and 158 over Live Oak Gap arguably the better climb in that area.

We say everything is bigger in Texas, but that's not really true. However, the highest point (and biggest climb) on the Gulf Coast between Alabama and the Yucatan is High Island, Texas (shown here surrounded by the flood waters of Hurricane Ike). TX87 & 124 climb well over 30 feet in elevation up to the town site!
