If you love cowboy boots and country songs, paranormal happenings, and huge pieces of minimalist art, then get in the Chevy — we’re going to Marfa.
  • Why go: The Marfa Lights: Since early pioneer times, folks have reported sightings of unexplained, ghostly blobs of colorful light dancing on Marfa’s skyline after dusk. Some say it’s paranormal, others say it’s an atmospheric coincidence.
  • Drink: Every outlaw needs a good watering hole, and Lost Horse Saloon should quench your thirst for the authentic cowboy experience. Planet Marfa is a quirky, outdoor-only bar that’s proven to be a tried-and-true favorite for locals and visitors alike.
  • Shop: Marfa Museum Thrift Store showcases historical artifacts from the region, plus the opportunity to score a desert treasure to take back home.
  • Vrbo: Fully Remodeled 1950s Texaco Gas Station (~$219/night), or Big Sky Marfa (~$431/night) if you’re traveling with a crew.
