Parks & Nature
Well the drive from Lajitas to Presidio is rated in National Geographic as one of the top ten scenic drives in the country. It is thru volcanic mountains, with the Rio Grande in view almost constantly. There is the Contrabando Movie Set Site, where a few films have taken place, that you will come to first. Next is the top of the Big Hill, steepest paved road in Texas. Stop on top for amazing views and walk towards the river 200 yards to peer down into Dark Canyon. Closed Canyon is the best hike in the state park, 2 miles round trip, that takes you into a slot canyon barely wider than your truck. Finally is the Hoodoo Overlook, a series of balanced rocks with a nice picnic area.

Drinks & Nightlife
Out front is what we call "THE PORCH". This place is the hub for local interaction. From sun up to sun down, you will find an array of characters lamenting the day in the shade of the porch. So grab a seat and be prepared to tell a story or two, play a tune, throw some horse shoes, and watch the best SUNSET around. The sun actually sets behind you, but reflects orange, purple, and pink on the Chisos Mountains in the far distance.
