About This Trail

Imported description

The rocky outcrop of large granite boulders is just west of Fort Davis, Texas, and it gives a fantastic view of the Davis Mountains. There is a lot of parking and there are picnic tables that are shaded. It would be impossible to get lost if you just went up and came back down.
