Come visit the Texas Forts Trail region and you'll walk in the footsteps of a colorful cast of characters – Spanish missionaries, nomadic Native Americans, determined soldiers, gritty cattlemen and eager settlers.  And, you'll see the Texas you expect - cattle, cowboys, oil wells, windmills, and a diverse landscape that ranges from rolling hills to wide open plains.  Explore state parks, take part in time-honored festivals and let us tell you our tales! Today's Texas Forts Trail is a recommended 650-mile driving route within a 29-county region of Central West Texas.  The Trail highlights a Spanish presidio and eight historic frontier forts and the communities and attractions that surround them.
