If you want to find out what a couple miles past
remote looks like, see the best sunset of your life, or
just curious to see the true rugged West, then Study
Butte, Terlingua and Lajitas, Texas is the place for
you.
You'll see the windswept remnants of an old mining town, a landscape stripped away of all life save
for a few resilient residents in Terlingua, a vibrant
gateway to Big Bend National Park in Study Butte
and a very unique resort in Lajitas. But like every
other community in the region, it's got even more to
it than you might expect.
For one exciting week in November of every year,
Terlingua is transformed into the most highly populated town in the entire Big Bend Region as tourists,
chili enthusiasts, and adventurous spirits pour in by
the thousands for the International Chili Championship.
The area is a manageable 80 miles south of
Alpine and can be experienced in a day. There are

and the ghost town to wander
