Happy, Texas, USA
3 of 13
Welcome to the self-proclaimed ‘town without a frown.' The tiny Lone Star State settlement of Happy (setting for the 1999 movie Happy, Texas in name only) is a frankly disappointing collection of silos and gridded streets. But look outside the ‘city’ limits and the best of Texas is on the doorstep, guaranteed to raise a smile. Hike or ride amid the red-rock hoodoos of the Palo Duro Canyon, the USA’s second biggest; spy bison and stunning sunsets in lesser-known Caprock Canyon; or spend your Wild West dollars at the Amarillo Livestock Auction, a slice of pure Americana (comedy Stetson practically mandatory). The auction takes place every Tuesday; canyons are best visited in autumn and winter – summers are extremely hot.
