Explore the beauty of West Texas

It's no wonder why so many people love escaping to the country at the X Bar Ranch.

CAVERNS OF SONORA

At the Caverns of Sonora you'll find yourself 60 feet underground observing a masterpiece in the making. Known as one of the most beautiful and unique show caves in the U.S.—if not the world—the Caverns of Sonora features a plethora of incredibly unique formations including crystal-like stalagmites, stalactites, helictites, soda straws, 'cave bacon' and more. Open daily (except for Christmas) visitors can enjoy walking tours that last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes and leave continuously throughout the day. Specialty tours include the Discovery Challenge Tour which takes you off the beaten path, and the Photo Tour. Specialty tours require advance reservations.

There's something for everyone.
