We are off to explore the rough and wild cowboy heritage of Dallas’ sister city Fort Worth. Learn about the infamous bandits and visit Hell’s Half Acre and the Fort Worth Stockyards.

The 1880’s were the heyday of the Stockyards as Fort Worth was the southernmost terminus on the railroads leading to Chicago. The cattle cattlemen and cattle rustlers passing through contributed to the Stockyard’s atmosphere some of which remains today. We will drive by the White Elephant Saloon and see a taste of "yesteryear". The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame honors Texas men & women who have excelled in the sports of rodeo and cutting. The inductees include Ty Murray (7 time World Champion All Around Cowboy) Tuff Hedeman (4 time World champion Bull Rider) Charmayne James (11 time World Champion Barrel Racer) and Don Gay (8 time World champion Bull Rider) just to name a few. The Fort Worth Herd Cattle Drive is held daily seven days a week weather permitting. The first daily cattle drive begins at 11:30 a.m. at the far east end of Exchange Avenue and ends at Cow town Coliseum. The Herd can be viewed at the Longhorn Observation Deck after the drive until 4:00 p.m. The second daily cattle drive begins at 4:00 p.m. Sundance Square named after the Sundance Kid is a 20-block district that has an incredible variety of things to do and see — stores and boutiques museums and galleries coffee shops and live theaters.
