We started our day with a drive out to the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute Nature Center and Botanical Gardens. First we hiked about 3 miles into the property for some incredible views of the surrounding area.
Then we checked out the botanical garden and the Cactus collection in the greenhouse. I didn't realize there were so many different kinds of cacti, and these are just the ones native to the Chihuahuan Desert in Mexico.
Following our hike we drove into Ft Davis for lunch at the Ft Davis Drug Store and then a scenic drive. We saw some very interesting things on our drive.
