From here, the skies get bigger and the land gets wilder. Strike south until you reach Marathon, a one-horse town known for its first-rate stargazing and quirky accommodations, from casitas to the mission-style Gage Hotel. No West Texas pilgrimage is complete without a stop in Marfa, either. This bohemian artists’ enclave plonked in the Chihuahuan Desert is known for Prada Marfa, an art installation pretending to be a Prada storefront hawking designer shoes to no one. More art awaits at your final stop, El Paso, which also delights visitors with its wineries and live music spots.
