from Kokernot Ranch was used to
build the outfield wall and
grandstand. The Kokernot Ranch "06"
brand was incorporated throughout
the stadium, along with intricate
ironwork of baseballs complete with
painted threads. The field is home to
the Sul Ross State University Lobos,
the Alpine (High School) Bucks, and
the Alpine Cowboys – a professional
team and the 2012 Pecos League
champions. The Cowboys season is
from late May through early August;
tickets are typically available on game
day.
Museum of the Big Bend: Since
1925, this museum on the Sul Ross
University campus has told the story
of the Big Bend and Davis Mountains.
A children’s corner makes the
museum a great place for the entire
family. For exhibits and events, see
pages 12-15.
Paisano Pass Volcano: Visit the
roadside marker five miles west of
Alpine on Highway 90 to learn more
about the volcano that helped to
form this area millions of years ago.
Performing Arts and Live Music:
Alpine’s cool summer nights are the
perfect setting for theatre-under-the-
stars performances by Theatre of the
Big Bend, Sul Ross State University’s
summer theatre program. Since
1983, the Railroad Blues has been
the place to go for live music in
Alpine – from honky-tonk and Tejano
to blues and rock. Live music can also
be heard at Harry’s Tinaja, the
Holland Hotel, Granada Theater and
area restaurants on select nights.
Sul Ross State University: Situated
in the hills overlooking Alpine, the
University is a great place to wander
and enjoy great views and
spectacular sunsets. There’s an
impressive cactus garden in front of
Lawrence Hall at Entrance 2 off
Highway 90.
Turner Range Animal Science
Center: The Center hosts rodeos and
horse shows throughout the year. On
any given day, visitors might be lucky
enough to watch university students
and 4H club members practicing in
the S.A.L.E. Arena, located behind
the main building.
