🚗 UNEXPECTED TEXAS: A ROAD TRIP 🚗
Nature lovers, stargazers and wine enthusiasts, set your sights on Fort Davis for your next getaway.
This West Texas town is cooler (literally) than you might think. 😎🧊 It’s nestled in the Davis Mountains, creating an unexpectedly cooler climate than the rest of West Texas.
Texas travel expert @mycurlyadventures_ takes us along on a Fort Davis itinerary well worth the road trip:
🍷sip on a glass of wine at @chateauwright
🍦stay cool with a cone from Hebert’s Caboose Ice Cream Shop
🧺 prep for the perfect picnic at @stonevillagetouristcamp
📘get your history lesson at Fort Davis Historic Site
🚗 drive the Skyline Drive Trail in Davis Mountain State Park
🔭soak up the big Texas night sky at @mcdonald_observatory weekly star parties
✨TEXAS TIDBIT✨ Fort Davis was not built as a Confederate fort, but it did for a very brief period become one. Too, despite controversy, it once housed the first Black calvary in the US Armed Forces. It doesn't ignore its history, and also doesn't glorify it — it's just one chapter in the Fort's storied past. Now, the space is protected by the National Park Service and well worth a visit!
