Uvalde County is home to 24,000 people and is divided into two provinces, the Edwards Plateau on the north and the Costal Plain on the South. These two provinces are separated by the Balcones Fault Zone, creating a unique ecosystem with spring-fed rivers to the big trees, rare, native birds, the second largest bat population in the nation, bees, and butterflies. It is all going on in the ecological crossroads. Uvalde County offers many opportunities for a premium eclipse experience, as well as offering great vacation options too - especially for nature lovers! There really is something for everyone.
