Alpine, TX

We stayed only one night in Alpine and did no touring. We highly recommend that area to those who have not been there. Many snowbirds make it their winter home. Our favorite Alpine activities a few years ago included the McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis, and the Davis Mountain loop drive. Many of the Buffalo Soldier buildings are still standing at the old fort. The haunting hourly bugle calls and impressive visitor center are well worth the tour. There is a wonderful nearby state
park with campground that will accommodate big rigs.
