I haven't been to Marfa in years but what a beautiful place. I love that high desert. And Fort Davis area is wonderful, thats where the observatory is, up in the mountains. Fort Davis is one of the best places to see the stars. The sky is so clear at night.

I live 26 miles from Marfa and drive there occasionally to attend mass there. Marfa is too hyped up, weird and too expensive. Presidio is a nice place to visit.

Nice video. Thanks. BTW, it's not "The Giant" but simply just "Giant." Greetings from my country, California--San Diego, specifically. ✌️ Luis E. Ventura

We stayed in Fort Davis and drove to Marfa during the day. This is 100% accurate, and if you drive an EV, there is a destination charger for Tesla in both Fort Davis and Marfa, and a Supercharger in Alpine. If you want to go to Big Bend, there is a new Supercharger under construction.

I really like your video. The movie is called "Giant", not "The Giant". One of my favorite films.

Marfa sucks. Very disappointing. Not a drinker and not much to do for my type. Alpine and Tarlingue are way cooler. Highly recommend those two towns. Also Prada is an hour round trip outide of Marfa. Not in Marfa.

Kind of giving a woke history of here, you forgot it was part of Spain first before it was inherited by Mexico.. I can go into full detail, but your history is completely wrong! Stop half assing it!
