The quiet, artsy town

Marfa to the west is now an art town, with new restaurants and galleries including the minimal art collection of Donald Judd which was the cause and start of “new” Marfa. It has a history too, as the superbly restored Presidio courthouse reveals.

Only in Marfa

Alpine is the biggest of the three Tri-county cities and is home to Sul Ross University perched on a hill at the edge of town. Amoung it's mountainous views, Alpine is beautifully decorated with vibrant murals around many corners.
