A remote and picturesque 20,000-acre preserve at the ecological junction of the Chihuahuan Desert, the Hill Country and the Tamaulipan Brushlands of northern Mexico. The terrain is dry and treeless but near the Devils River springs provide sufficient moisture for groves of pecans, sycamores and live oaks. Open by reservation only. Bring all necessary food, water, gas and other supplies.
