More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The lights of Sundance Square cut a crisp pattern across cold air as you step off the curb and into a walking tour that tastes like Fort Worth history. Street lamps glow; the city’s big Texas tree towers above, and the first whiff of smoked brisket pulls you toward a warm front door. Over the next two-and-a-half hours you’ll move through plazas and brick sidewalks, swapping bites and stories as the guide links BBQ smoke to railroad rails and the city’s rough-edged past.
