Skyline Drive Trailhead Overlook
The paved trailhead for the Skyline Drive Trail in Davis Mountains State Park, located at the end of a short spur off Park Road 166, approximately 4 miles west of Fort Davis on TX-118. At 5,503 feet elevation, the overlook provides a broad panorama across the Davis Mountains — the highest range in Texas — with views of Limpia Canyon and the surrounding high-desert basin. The Davis Mountains Scenic Loop (TX-166 and TX-118) is a 75-mile circuit renowned as the best touring loop in West Texas. The trailhead parking area accommodates motorcycles, and the ridge is accessible on foot for wider views.
The best elevation stop on the Davis Mountains Scenic Loop — the overlook sits above 5,500 feet with 360-degree high-desert mountain views rarely found in Texas. The loop itself (TX-166 and TX-118) offers 75 miles of wide-open curves through scenic volcanic highlands with very light traffic.
