Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute
Fort Davis, Texas

The Chihuahuan Desert Institute is a non-profit institution that was formed to provide educational programs and encourage scientific study of this unique desert region. Located on 507 acres of wooded grasslands south of Fort Davis, CDRI offers the visitor nature walks through their Chihuahuan Desert Arboretum, a living museum of native plants. A large cactus and succulent greenhouse allows the enthusiast an opportunity to view over 240 species of Chihuahuan cactus, many are often in bloom. For the hardier hiker, two trails are accessible from the CDRI grounds. The Modesta Canyon Trail is a slightly rocky descent to a series of hidden springs in the wooded canyon. A half and hour hike, the trail rises to the Canyon edge and returns toward the CDRI headquarters. A loop of that trail takes the hiker to a slightly more ambitious climb along a series of steep cliffs overlooking Musquiz Canyon to the top of Clayton Overlook
