Summer In The Hills
The West Texas Hill Country is the most invigorating summer land in the South. Many inviting conditions combine for relaxation and health—elevations from 2,000 to 4,000 ft., rugged hills and rock canyons, a clear sunshine and gulf breezes, spring-fed brooks and rivers, good drinking water, fishing and camping, cow ponies and hiking. Sheep, goat and cattle ranches spread out in all directions. All outdoors welcomes with its wild, primitive beauty.
When the route of the Old Spanish Trail across West Texas was planned this Hill Country, then wild and remote, was selected because of its unparalleled attraction for health, relaxation and sheer joy. Today this country offers the most delightful driving in Texas. Hotels, camps, vacation ranches and boarding houses now are numerous. The rugged hospitality of the West prevails. It is a Country that paints roses on the cheeks of children and reddens the blood of men and women.
The Old Spanifth Trail route acroug West Texas Is ihe shortest, the most interesting and best. It is S3 ml. shorter than tbe railroad and shorter than the southern route. Good driving conditions prevail. There are no bumper gates on the Spanish Trail to damage cars or distress inexperienced travel* ers.
These facts are emphasized because of travel complaint about misinformation. Texans themselves in large numbers seek the Old Spanish Trail Hill Country for relaxation and health. This alone will always assure good accommodations and service.

The Old History
The old Spanish history of the American occupation is not easily gathered together for brief statement. Many old records are in Spanish and in foreign archives. In developing these historical statements nice cooperation is enjoyed from the OST State universities and from historians of authority. Many communities carelessly publish matter for which no basis can be found in history. Cooperation is asked that Old Spanish Trail material may always be correct In statement and in spirit.
