The Texas Pecos Trail

Monday, February 28th, 2011

The Texas Pecos Trail traverses much of West Texas. It covers 35,000 square miles and 22 counties. It encompasses seven state parks, thousand of miles of rivers, and many interesting historical, cultural, and environmental destinations. This is no Sunday afternoon drive; plan to explore the Texas Pecos Trail at your leisure, with many stops at West Texas Bed and Breakfasts.

Odessa is one of the largest cities on the Texas Pecos Trail. Consider spending a few days at an Odessa TX Bed and Breakfast while you explore the area. Spend an evening at the Midland-Odessa Symphony, and take in a show at Odessa’s Globe Theatre, where Macbeth is playing in mid April. If you’re traveling in September, check out the annual Shakespeare Festival. Another good stop is the Presidential Museum and Leadership Library, which focuses on the office of the presidency, not individual presidents.

Please see the Texas Pecos Trail for more information about various points of interest.

Learn about the area’s interesting history as you experience this stark and beautiful landscape.

Monahans Sandhills State Park makes a great day trip from an Odessa Texas bed and breakfast.
