Homer Wilson Ranch Overlook
in
Big Bend
A wheelchair-accessible ramp leads to a wayside that describes the remains of the historic ranch in the valley below. In 1928, Homer Wilson bought land in the foothills of the Chisos for a sheep and goat operation. Eventually, his ranch spanned 45,000 acres. The line camp at the base of Signal or Carousel Mountain was built for the ranch foreman, Lott Felts.

A 0.5 mile hike leads down the hill to the line camp, a circular corral with snubbing post, dipping vats, an old chicken coop, and other ranch remains.
Hikers can access the Blue Creek and Dodson trails from this point.
