An often underrated part of the Texas "triangle" consisting of three small but very interesting towns: Ft. Davis, Marfa and Alpine, (some people would add Marathon to this list), Ft Davis may have the most authentic charm. Overnight at the Drugstore Restaurant and Hotel, visit the friendly bookstore, hike in the Davis Mountains at Davis Mountain State Park, where you should make sure to take the skyline drive to the mountain top for beautiful sunsets. Add a visit to Ft Davis itself and learn about its history and our country's Buffalo Soldiers, and you will have put together a very rich, enjoyable trip.

We simply could not believe the beauty of the Davis Mountains State Park! WOW! The Park is a stunning piece of land that is totally removed from everything. It's a great place to go and get away and just drink in all the natural beauty of west Texas. The roads are white-knuckle, hairpin, one lane roads, so drive slowly and be careful! The buildings built by the CCC are a lasting testament to a bit of American spirit that's no longer with us today. This is a special place. Definitely a wonderful little plot of nature to come to disconnect from the modern world and connect with a simpler time. We can't wait to come back when it's a little warmer-- when it's below freezing, this place is COLD!
