upon the 700,000 annual visitors to the Caverns. |

As one travels west on I-10 or I-20, out of the vast desert, on the
horizon, slowly rises the purple mass of the Davis Mountains, the
largest mountain chain entirely within Texas. Rising above the
Chihuahuan desert, the mild climate and volcanic soils support one of
the most biologically diverse selections of mountain flora and fauna. |
