Texas Mountain Trail leads to adventure

Body
The Texas Heritage Trails Program was the brainchild of former governor of Texas John Connally. In 1968, in conjunction with the HemisFair, Connally, along with the Texas Highway Department now Texas Department of Transportation established 10 scenic driving trails in Texas. In 1997, the state legislature tasked the historical commission to create a statewide heritage tourism program. Their response was a program based on local, regional, and state partnerships centered around the 10 driving trails created by Connally.
Located in Big Bend National Park along the banks of the Rio Grande, the Hot Springs Historic District are remnants to the testament of early settlement in the Big Bend. This particular building was built by J.O. Langford and served as the Post Office for the resort he built in the early 1900s. This is just one of many places to visit within the Texas Mountain Trail region. Photo by Kara Gerbert
