THE HIGHEST TOWN IN TEXAS
At over a mile high, Fort Davis is “the highest town in Texas”. The moderate weather and mountain scenery are perfect for hiking, biking, birding, stargazing, and unwinding while soaking up the natural beauty. Meander through the botanical garden at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center or take a hike at the Davis Mountains State Park for spectacular 360-degree views of abundant and rare wildlife. Find yourself beneath dark skies and bright stars. Lay back and take in the views or immerse yourself at one of McDonald Observatory’s star parties where viewers can look through telescopes and view celestial objects. Connect with the past and step back in time at the Fort Davis National Historic Site, one of the best surviving examples of a frontier military post. Discover locally produced wine, mountain vineyards, gourmet pecans, unique art, and gifts. Or simply relax and disconnect in the friendliest little town in Texas.
