THE OLD LA GRANGE BRIDGE SPANS THE COLORADO RIVER
Skyrunner Guest House is high above the Colorado River on the “Bluff” which was once the town of Bluff, Texas.It was a cotton growing town with a cotton gin, a post office from 1903-1969, two stores, and a blacksmith shop. By 1960 cotton was no longer a primary crop and the fields were replaced by crops and cow pastures. Much of it became over grown with hardwood, mesquite, cedar and various other trees. Bluff became a largely residential community and by 1987 there was a large county club and two businesses.*
