A 74-mile loop through the Davis Mountains (from and back to Fort Davis)
leads to choice mountain landscapes. Head two miles south on Texas 17 and take
Texas 166 west to intersection with Texas 118, then southeast back to Texas 17
and Fort Davis. Features include nine scenic roadside parks, Mount Locke, Madera
Canyon and Davis Mountains State Park.
El Camino del Rio, Spanish for "The River Road," is the local name for F.M.
170 that stretches from Lajitas northwest to Presidio and beyond. Paved route is
one of the most spectacular drives in Texas. Drivers are cautioned that the
route encounters steep grades (15 percent), sharp curves, occasional loose
livestock and low-water crossings; special alert for large RVs or vehicles
pulling large trailers.
