Cyclists leaving Fort Davis for the Scenic Loop

One of the best rides in the state is the 74 mile Scenic Loop...the starting point is Fort Davis in Jeff Davis County.

The ride goes by McDonald Observatory, the trailhead for the Madera Canyon trail, Prude Ranch, Davis Mountains State Park, and Fort Davis National Historic Site.

Hikers enjoying the Fort Davis area

One of the best ways to enjoy the region and make friends at the same time, is through group travel. The Davis Mountains Fitness and Training Camp at Prude Ranch in Fort Davis allows outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels to enjoy hiking, cycling, running, and swimming together.
