This 6. 1 to 7. 0 hour tour focuses on the most significant site in Texas's revolutionary war from Mexico. It was at the Battle of San Jacinto (SJ) on April 21, 1836 in an 18 minute battle that Texas won its independence and General Sam Houston became a renown figure. San Jacinto State Park is in La Porte, Texas. We will then have lunch at one of the best seafood restaurants in greater Houston; it also overlooks the Houston Ship Channel where we will watch oil tankers and barges going up and down the San Jacinto River. We will return to downtown Houston and the East Downtown (Eado) area to have an abbreviated tour. This tour is only available on Sunday and Wednesday through Saturday as the SJ Monument is closed on Monday and Tuesday. If you would like to walk in the underground pedestrian tunnels of Houston, they are only open on Monday through Friday.
10:00 - 10:15 AM - Introductions and load the vehicle. 10:15 - 10:55 AM - Drive 22. 2 miles/35. 7 kilometers through Pasadena to La Porte where the San Jacinto (SJ) State Park is located.
