The Sky Tonight
Marfa Air & Dust
A plain-language read on the air over Marfa — fine particles, and on a hazy day whether it's blown dust or wildfire smoke. Updated through the day.
The Alpine Run
What you have to drive to Alpine for — the ER, the pharmacy, a real grocery — and what one round trip costs in fuel, so you can make a run count.
The Sunset Limited at Alpine
Where the Sunset Limited actually is, and when it will really reach Alpine — the nearest station to Marfa, twenty-six miles east. Read live from Amtrak's own tracking.
Who to Call
The Marfa numbers worth having — the clinic, the ER in Alpine, the sheriff, city utilities and roads.
Good to Know
The Marfa questions visitors and newcomers ask most — seeing the Lights, finding Prada Marfa, the drive in, the Border Patrol checkpoint and the dark skies.
