Davis Mountains near Fort Davis State Park - By FJRFreak

This ride as listed has two different personalities as the author suggests. 118 from Fort Davis takes you up into the Davis Mountains and into some fun twisty roads and you should plan to make a stop at McDonald Observatory. They have a nice snack bar with real food if needed although we had lunch in Fort Davis at the Drug Store which is an old soda fountain type of restaurant. HWY 17 is a more tame road but definitely has some fun sweeping turns and great scenery. Good road conditions the entire route.
