Glen Rose is one of the best weekend getaways from Dallas — under an hour from DFW, and a world away once you arrive.
Real dinosaur tracks preserved in the Paluxy riverbed, plus miles of hiking and swimming. La Palmilla is the closest luxury hotel near Dinosaur Valley State Park.
An 1,800-acre drive-through conservation center with over 1,000 animals from 50 species — giraffes will lean into your car window.
Over 150 life-size dinosaur sculptures along a wooded trail — a must for kids on a family getaway.
36 holes of championship golf in the rolling Somervell County hills, minutes from the resort.
Fishing, kayaking, and quiet riverside walks along one of Texas's most storied waterways — a short stroll from the property.
The oldest surviving log courthouse in Texas, a working blacksmith shop, and the story of the legendary cattle trail.
After a day of dinosaur tracks and safari drives, trade the trail for a resort-style pool, a hot tub with chapel views, pickleball, our pecan grove, and dinner from La Fonda — all inside a Spanish Colonial estate that National Geographic named among the Top 10 family-friendly hotels in Texas.
