The communities of Study Butte, Terlingua and Lajitas are a beautiful 80-mile drive south of Alpine along Hwy. 118, or an equally scenic 110-mile drive south from Marfa along Hwy. 67 and 170. These stark but amazingly beautiful outposts should be part of any visit to the Big Bend.
At Terlingua / Study Butte, windswept remnants of an old mining town dot the treeless landscape that lies at the western entrance to Big Bend National Park. The pace is slow and there ' s plenty of time to relax and enjoy views of the Chisos Mountains from Terlingua Trading Company ' s front porch in the Ghost Town. If you like excitement, then visit in November when thousands of chili enthusiasts and adventurous spirits arrive for the annual Terlingua International Championship Chili Cookoff.
Twelve miles and a whole world away from Terlingua / Study Butte is the Lajitas Golf Resort. Their world-class 18-hole course was voted the most beautiful golf course in Texas by Golf Magazine. Other offerings include the Lajitas Zip Line, Equestrian Center, and Agave Spa. Nearby is the Barton Warnock Visitor Center, which serves as the eastern visitor center for Big Bend Ranch State Park. It features a native plant garden and an impressive collection of books, maps and guides about the region. For information, visit http:// bigbendchamber. homestead. com /.
