If you want to learn about the history of West Texas and why it is called the "PERMIAN BASIN" the Sandhills State Park has an interesting info center and you can drive through some pretty big sand dunes & even go exploring. Very Interesting to see.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Watch Out for Trucks, Bad Drivers & Traffic
Odessa is a very busy place and if you aren't familiar with a few bad drivers and a bit of traffic we do have Uber, Cabs & Buses. Lot to see in Odessa if you look around.
