Directions To High Frontier From Midland/Odessa Airport


Exit the Midland Airport.  At the stop sign, go left.  This road (I think is 1788) will take you to I-20.

You will see I-20 Business first.  DO NOT TAKE I-20 Business.  You will see I-20 after you go over the hill.  The exit is on the right.  It will curve left, then right to enter the interstate.

Take I-20 West to Pecos (approximately 80 miles).  You will go past Odessa and Monahans.

Exit on Highway 17 South.  The sign reads Fort Davis/Balmorhea.  There is not much in this stretch of the trip.  It is about 50 miles.  This will lead you to I-10.

When you reach I-10, you will have a choice:  you can get on I-10 or stay on the frontage road.  Take the Hwy. 17 exit to Balmorhea/Ft. Davis.  Go left.  This will lead you through Balmorhea and out of town. (Dont blink-it's small!)

On the west side outskirts of Balmorhea, you will pass a large natural spring pool (Balmorhea State Park).  After the park you will see a sign for Ft. Davis.

Go left towards Ft. Davis.  This is still Hwy 17.  The sign also reads University of Texas-McDonald Observatory.

Take Hwy 17 for approximately 45 miles.  You will pass a Boy Scout Camp and Wild Rose Pass.

When you come to Ft. Davis you will come to a stop sign.  Go left on Hwy 118 that takes you into the town of Ft. Davis.  

Go through town-pass the Fort and then the Court House.  When you come to the fork in the road go left towards Alpine.  This is still Hwy 118.

High Frontier is 5 miles south of Ft. Davis.  We are on the right side of the Hwy across the road from CDRI (chihuahua desert research institute).  There is a road sign that reads THE HIGH FRONTIER.  The road sign is on the left side of the road and we are on the right.

You will cross a cattle guard that says High Frontier at the top.  Go about a mile and a half down the dirt road.  You will pass two other cattle guards- the last one has a sign that says HF and what is not allowed on the premises, etc.  Then on the left side of the road is our barn/ shop/ arena.  Then you will pass the gym and school and the right, keep going on the road until you see a parking lot.  The administration building is the one with the high porch and four French doors facing the parking lot.

Our number is (432)364-2241.  Please call if you have trouble.
