They do a great Star Walk at the McDonald Observatory up in the Davis
Mountains of West Texas.  McDonald Observatory, run by UT, has some of the
finest programs I've ever seen at an institution of this kind (including
Griffith in CA).  The viewing up there is second to none because of the
height, clear skies, & lack of light pollution.
