The SSES Upper School Science Department sponsors educational trips to West Texas during the academic year. Some interested students will be joined by some of our Science faculty members at the David Mountains Preserve to learn more about the unique terrain in West Texas.
The wild and remote Davis Mountains region is one of the most scenic in Texas. Indeed, it is one of the most biologically diverse. Rising above the Chihuahuan desert, the range forms a unique sky island—a cooler, wetter landscape surrounded by arid lowland desert.
