This post will be just like my Wyler Aerial Tramway post. We came (kind of), we saw (from afar) and we left. And because TPWD still counts it as it’s own park on the official list, it gets it’s own post! haha. The CCC built Indian Lodge is located INSIDE the park boundaries of Davis Mountains State Park and serves as lodging…. hotel style. It has been under renovations off and on the last 4 years and is actually set to open fully and functionally later this year. Fingers crossed.

When we visited September of 2024 on our 10 day Big Bend trip, it was not open in any capacity. There also wasn’t any way to drive or hike anywhere near it. We took the best option that the Davis Mountains’ rangers could provide and got our views from the Skyline Drive.

Missing out on an official visit stunk. But after visiting the other amazing towns in the area and the National Park itself, I’m ready to come back for what I’m calling the “Boujee Hotel Tour” and Indian Lodge will stop number 2.
