Slide and video programs are held in the park visitor center. At an elevation of more than 5,000 feet, the park is delightfully cool at nights, and the moderate weather supports a wide range of trees and grasses, along with desert vegetation. Most of the hills contain a typical juniper-pinion pine woodland, mixed with oak. During wet years, the lower elevations are covered with a beautiful wildflower display. You'll also see Emery oak along Keesey Creek, with native shrubs including evergreen and fragrant sumac, Apache plum, tree cholla, Torrey yucca, catclaw acacia, and agarito.
Rock squirrels are the most frequently seen mammals.
The northern half of the park has been designated the Limpia Canyon Primitive Area , with ten miles of backcountry trails, linking primitive campsites. Developed facilities, located south of Highway 118, include campsites with water, electricity and sewer connections, picnic areas, an outdoor amphitheater, children's playground, and a Texas Park Store. For those who haven't reserved a site, camping availabilities are posted each evening. The park is reached by taking Texas Highway 17 from Fort Davis. After a mile, turn onto TX 118, and drive 3 miles to the park entrance.
