Just another beautiful sunset...can you see Chinati Peak?

One of our region's assets is our unspoiled landscape, clear bright skies and unencumbered views...what better way to relax, forget your troubles, and leave the noise of the city behind?!?

One of our typical autumn sunsets, seen north of Marfa....but if you look closely, you can see Chinati Peak at the horizon.

Bonus Video!  One of our volunteers, the El Paso Troubadour, sings his own composition...sit and listen awhile and watch photos of Big Bend, Van Horn and other parts of our Far West Texas!
