riders in Monahans Sandhills State Park.

5
miles East of Monahans is one of the most
interesting arboreal oddities in the United States - a miniature
forest of (Havard Oak) trees that only reach waist high.
The sandhills themselves comprise 4,000 acres of sand dunes, while
the "forest" occupys 40,000 acres, making it technically one of the
largest oak forests in the U.S. The park opened in 1957 and is managed
by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
