Alto, TX

United States

Alto is a small East Texas town of about 1,200 people located where US Highway 69 and State Highway 21 intersect in Cherokee County's pine forests. It's about two hours southeast of Dallas and serves as a gateway to the timber country, with rolling hills and dense woods that get more rain than typical Texas terrain. The town sits near the historic Caddo Mounds, where you can see 1,200-year-old Native American ceremonial mounds.
