  • Texas Mountain Trail Region
    Guadalupe Mountains National Park reathtaking mountains and high-country hikes. Sheer river canyons and winding back roads. BB Exotic desert panoramas and star-studded nights. These sights and more delight visitors at every turn in the six Far West Texas counties of the Texas Mountain Trail Region. Stretched across two time zones, Central and Mountain, this far-flung region is a geological wonder. During the Permian period more than 250 million years ago, the land lay near the equator in the supercontinent of Pangea. Continental shifting and volcanic action eventually thrust the land upward; millennia of wind and water eroded it, sculpting majestic mountains and mesas. Dinosaurs roamed for millions of years when the land bordered a shallow sea. The Rio Grande gradually carved a deep notch in the mountains, creating a natural river crossing that Spanish explorers named El Paso del Norte. The river also created glorious canyons in today’s Big Bend National Park. Throughout the centuries, the climate grew hotter and the land drier. To survive, wildlife and prehistoric hunter-gatherers adapted to desert conditions. Later, diverse groups — Native Americans and Spanish missionaries, soldiers and miners, ranchers and railroaders –– passed this way in search of wealth, glory and new beginnings. A century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca traveled with the first European expedition here in the 1530s. He encountered agricultural communities and scattered nomadic tribes. Later Spanish expeditions introduced horses, cattle, sheep and wheeled vehicles to natives.
