TEN TOP REASONS TO VISIT THE TRANS-PECOS
The Trans-Pecos region of Texas is quite unique. It’s
austere, beautiful, isolated, and quirky. My fictional town of Cupid is an
amalgamation of three Trans-Pecos towns—Marfa, Alpine and Fort Davis. Here are
ten top reasons to visit this phenomenal country besides the obvious Big Bend
National Park.
1) Cowboys, Cowboys,
Cowboys.
These guys are the real deal, none of the drugstore variety
here. That is unless you count those talented New York artists who flocked here
for the amazing vistas, started wearing boots and cowboy hats and embraced the
land as their own.
2) Fort Davis
Fort Davis is restored fort from before the Civil War. The
Buffalo Soldiers fought here and the first African-American to graduate West
Point once commanded this fort. Fort Davis also experimented with using camels
to traverse the mountainous desert terrain to see if they were better pack
animals than mules. Turns out they weren’t.
3) The Marfa Lights.
For centuries, these mysterious and unpredictable lights that
have appeared in the night sky near Mitchell Flats. Although many scientists, scholars and
amateur sleuths have sought to explain the causes of the lights, the origins
remain an unsolved mystery.
4) Prada Marfa
A Prada store erected as an artistic statement in the barren
desert of Valentine, Texas. It makes me smile every time I see it.
5) Hollywood Love
Several movies have been made here including, Giant, There Will be Blood and No
Country for Old Men.
Located at Sul Ross University in Alpine, the Center for Big
Bend Studies supports and promotes archaeological and historical activities in
the Trans-Pecos. They hold summer field schools for students and volunteers who
want to know more about archaeology.
7) MacDonald
Observatory
The Davis Mountains boast the darkest night sky in the US.
MacDonald Observatory offers educational programs and numerous stargazing
parties. Just be sure to bring a flashlight to find your way back to your car.
It is seriously dark out there.
8) The Terlingua
Chili Cook-off
Visit in November and you can attend the Terlingua Chili
Cook-off. We’re not just talking the best chili you’ve ever out in your mouth,
but you’ll be treated to an excellent music festival as well. The likes of Willie
Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Waylon Jennings have played here.
9) Balmorhea State
Park
An oasis smack dab in the desert. Escape the heat by diving into the clear blue
waters.
10) The Davis
Mountains
While the Davis Mountains aren’t tall, they are impressive
and do offer fine hiking. mountain-biking, picnicking, and bird-watch. Bring
plenty of water and sunscreen and don’t be surprised when your cell phones
don’t work.
So there you have it, ten good reasons to visit the
Trans-Pecos besides Big Bend. With my new series, I hope I’ve done justice to
this compelling land and I hope I’ve piqued your interest in the Trans-Pecos
region of Texas. But be forewarned, if you come to visit, you’ll leave a piece
of your heart behind.
Thank you for hosting today!
