Marfa is an internationally renowned art community in the deserts of West Texas. Though it's a long drive for most, it's not to be missed. The town is home to art installations by Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, and others; modern art galleries; and fine dining. At night, visitors can view the "Marfa Lights," a natural phenomenon that could be the work of alien life. Marfa has a number of hotels, but many visitors prefer the kooky and quaint bohemian trailer park known as El Cosmico.
