Fort Davis Area Attractions
Historic Fort Davis
The reason that we are all here. No visit is complete without experiencing the Fort Davis National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service) located a few blocks from the inn. The fort was recently named “Best Preserved Fort in the West” by True West magazine.
Our number one attraction and one of the most important research observatories in the country. Their visitor center is great and a star party is not to be missed.
Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center
One of our favorite places to hike and see hummingbirds and butterflies. Don’t miss Modesta canyon with its springs and crawfish!
Visit Indian lodge for lunch and check out the park’s trails for some good hikes and views.
One of the best swimming pools on earth!
100,000 acres of pristine wilderness located in the heart of the Davis Mountains.
