Desert Skills Hike

Sharpen your skills on this fairly easy, 2-hour walk 'n' talk as you encounter survival scenarios common in the Davis Mountains long ago.

Ever wonder what life was like out here in the rugged Davis Mountains for early inhabitants? How would you survive? Where would you find the basic necessities (water, food, shelter, fire)? Join Ranger Charlie on this imaginary journey back in time and test your survival instincts. We'll be walking and talking along a 1.5-mile stretch of Skyline Drive Trail. Don't worry...everyone survives! Allow 10 minutes to drive up Skyline Drive to reach the starting point. 

Meet: at the CCC Rock Lookout (far end of Skyline Drive) 

Bring: hiking/walking shoes, water, hat, sunscreen, dog-friendly

Cost: free for campers or day users w/ permit - daily entrance fee is $6/adult, or free for the carload with Texas State Park Pass.
