Texas Pecos Trail Region Attractions

The Texas Pecos Trail Region is a part of the Lone Star State that stretches from Eagle Pass north to Midland and Odessa, encompassing 22 counties and including such towns as Del Rio, Fort Stockton, and Sheffield. Home to scenic rivers and the rough canyons and mountains of the Chihuahuan Desert, the region is a great place to experience the great outdoors. Given its one-of-a-kind cultural history and heritage, it’s also where you want to go to experience Texas’ frontier history. Read on to see just a few of the attractions in the Texas Pecos Trail Region, and visit the region’s website to see everything else it has to offer.
