The Skyline Drive area is totally different habitat than the rest of the park. Predominantly grassy higher altitude. A great place to hawk watch and looking for Golden Eagles in the winter.

Hawks, Golden Eagle, Rock Wren, Townsend's Solitaire, Black-throated Sparrow, Rufous-crowned Sparrow

Great views of Fort Davis. Storm watching.

This site is open daily, and developed camping is available at the site. An entrance fees is required.

A total of 365 bird species are known to occur within Jeff Davis County and Davis Mountains State Park provides a convenient location to see many of them. The park offers 20 miles of hiking trails and features two particularly good Bird Viewing Blinds. The Primitive area of the park along Limpia Creek is especially good for birding.

The east end of Skyline Drive Trail connects with the Fort Access Trail that takes you to Fort Davis National Historic Site. Davis Mountains State Park Trails Map
