Fort Davis
McDonald observatory (make a star party reservation)
Marfa if you like artsy shite
Lajitas has a great golf course and spas and what not.
Terlingua has the ghost town and some cool places to eat.
Alpine has a baseball team that might be playing when you are there. Neat stadium from the 40s.
The drive from Lajitas to presidio is beautiful and there are a couple great hikes along the way.

I’ll add park highlights in the morning.

Hidden things. There is the Cattail springs waterfall (not on most maps) and the petroglyphs at Indian Head mountain on the Terlingua side. That’s definitely not on main maps and rangers won’t tell you about it. Some arse clown defaced them recently which is sickening. The balanced rock is great. The window trail is awesome and right below the lodge. Lots of fun hikes but be prepared for the hikes. These aren’t super populated generally and in summer take lots of water. I’d take personal protection given the remoteness.
