Sonora is about three hours west of San Antonio and is easy to reach if you looking to get away from the big city, especially for a weekend getaway. The town has the Caverns of Sonora, which is one of the most beautiful caverns in the world. Additionally, it is complete with a history of pioneers and outlaws, unique shops and restaurants.

While visiting the historic downtown, visitors can visit the Sutton County Courthouse which has been stunningly restored, the Community Prayer Garden offering peace and tranquility, Miers Home Museum which was the fifth structure built in the city, the Santa Fe Depot which helped the city improve economically with the assistance of the rest of the nation for the shipping of supplies, and the Old Ice House Ranch Museum dedicated to the legacy Bill Carver, and Butch Cassidy.
