With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Big Spring, 40 miles away, has to offer. Big Spring State Park, Big Spring Municipal Auditorium and Hangar 25 Air Museum alone justify the drive out here. Located 45 miles away, San Angelo is another popular destination. If you swing by, be sure to check out Lake Nasworthy, Fort Concho National Historic Landmark and Sunset Mall.
