Plenty of boulders for climbing and several animal foot trails to wind your way to the top. There isn't a particular path but this spot is popular with climbers. This is mountain climb is a tough one but you'll be rewarded with beautiful views of mountains and prairies between Marfa and Fort Davis.

A great, quick but very uphill climb located behind Sul Ross University in Alpine. If you make it to the top you'll see a bicycle in a tree, a government metal desk with journals to make your mark and several painted rocks. The views are breathtaking.

Fort Davis Restraunts and Cafes
These are great spots to visit or just grab a cup of coffee.
My favorite place to walk to from the house where I can grab a cup of Big Bend Coffee and a breakfast burrito and watch the sun rise while reading a local paper. Also a great place for organic foods and a variety of items you might need for your stay. This place opens at 7am.
