Summary
"Each year, more than two million visitors enjoy the attractions of the southwestern Hill Country, with Uvalde as its portal, and the lower Pecos canyonlands, which stretch roughly along US 90 from Fort Clark Springs west to Del Rio. Amistad National Recreation Area, the Judge Roy Bean Visitors' Center and Botanical Garden, Seminole Canyon State Park, and the Briscoe-Garner Museum, along with ghost towns, ancient rock art, sweeping vistas, and unique flora and fauna, are just a few of the reasons that so many travelers make this distinctive section of the Lone Star State their preferred destination. Now, veteran writer, blogger, and archaeologist Mary Black serves up the best of this region's special adventures and secret treasures. Visitor's Guide to Southwest Texas is chock-full of helpful maps, engaging descriptions of points of interest, colorful photography, and pro tips on where to stay, what to do, and how to get there. There's even a trivia quiz to keep travelers entertained and informed while en route. This first-ever guide to the Texas 'Hill Country-Desert Trail' is your indispensable travel companion for unforgettable discoveries in the wide open spaces"--Provided by publisher.
