Ozona
Visit Ozona only if you have a car and want a quick stop for hunting leases or a museum; otherwise skip – no public transport, limited sights.
Ozona is a tiny Texas town with a museum, a historic courthouse, a Davy Crockett statue and hunting lease options. With no public transport and only a few lodging choices, a half‑day visit by car is enough unless you plan to hunt.
