Probably few people are aware of the pictographs located in the canyons of Seminole Canyon State Park, Texas.

Most are level ranch roads that even... More

The tour of the Fate Bell Shelter was awesome. There were about 15 people on the tour when we went. I would recommend the morning tour, cooler and a good way to start your day.

This park was a very pleasant surprise for us. We stopped for a few hours on our way from Houston to Big Bend and it was totally worth the stop. The kids enjoyed hearing about the the Pecos Indians and seeing the pictographs in Fate Bell Shelter. The tour led by the park staff was very informative as is the... More
