    On the Road

    Big spirit and a love of the arts thrives in the tiny Texas town of Alpine

    CultureMap Create
    Jun 22, 2022 | 12:00 pm

    If a pilgrimage out west is on your list, Alpine is your picture-perfect stopover point. It boasts some of the best year-round weather in Texas, with dry air and elevation that keeps summers fresh and cool, especially in the mornings and evenings.

    And it’s also centrally connected to the most scenic routes in the state, with easy day-trip access to Big Bend National Park, Marfa, Fort Davis, Marathon, McDonald Observatory, and more.

    That said, Alpine proper has plenty to see and do, so make sure you carve out some time to stay a while and explore.

    Say hi to downtown Alpine
    With more than 40 murals to see, each picture is worth a thousand words in Alpine. From a historic map and vibrant storytelling renderings to bright pop art, the wall-adorning pieces offer glimpses of local history, folklore, and culture.

    If history is your M.O., the town’s self-guided walking tour ventures through 44 different historic stops, including the Ritchey Hotel from the 1880s — one of the oldest commercial buildings still standing in Alpine — along with early 20th-century residences, churches, and more.

    Enjoy the small-but-mighty music scene
    The town is a certified “Music Friendly Community” and it’s kind of a big deal. There may only be 6,000 residents, but the music scene is major and diverse. On any given week, you can catch a variety of live music performances.

    For starters, Old Gringo Coffee & Cocktails has Tuesday open mics as well as a few music performances every week.

    The historic Holland Hotel is Alpine’s classic railroad hotel, originally constructed in 1928. Now, it offers frequent live music in a beautiful enclosed courtyard or the elegant lobby.

    Railroad Blues hosts notable talent in a funky, fun atmosphere, and Ole Crystal Bar boasts a first-rate outdoor stage.

    All these places also happen to host artists during the Viva Big Bend music festival in July that brings in more than 50 bands to Alpine as well as Marfa, Marathon, and Fort Davis.

    Hit the trails — and find The Desk
    Hancock Hill
    , behind Sul Ross State University, has a small system of hiking trails that feature scenic overlooks of the town and the path to The Desk.

    If you haven’t heard the story of The Desk, it goes like this: In 1981, three Sul Ross students carried a desk up Hancock Hill to study. Soon they were spending hours on the hill, enjoying the beautiful surroundings. When one of them left a notebook in a desk drawer and later saw someone had written in it, he replied and soon the tradition of a notebook associated with The Desk was born.

    Learn about Big Bend before driving there
    Located on the Sul Ross State University campus, the Museum of the Big Bend celebrates the distinctive natural and human history as well as cultures in the Big Bend region. Rotating exhibits include paintings, photography, and more.

    And if you love maps, you’ll be fascinated by the historical pieces in the Yana and Marty Davis Map Collection.

    Discover more reasons to love this tiny town with a bold spirit at Visit Alpine.

    Sunrise at Hancock Hill boasts beautiful views.

    Air carrier JSX launches new route from Dallas to Santa Fe

    Dallas-based air carrier JSX is introducing an exciting new destination: The premium public charter jet service company is adding new seasonal flights to and from Santa Fe, New Mexico (SAF), from Dallas (DAL).

    According to a release, the inaugural flight is on May 22, 2025. Hey, that's today.

    Ahead of a busy summer travel season, Dallas travelers will be able to jet off to vibrant Santa Fe in style with JSX’s crowd-free, reliable, and accessible flight service, with industry-leading features including:

    • Allowing check-in just 20 minutes before a domestic flight from dedicated private terminals
    • No long check-in lines and fast state-of-the-art TSA-approved security screening
    • Bright, modern cabin interior featuring 30 seats with business class legroom, no middle seats, and power outlets at every row
    • Complimentary amenities for all customers such as two checked bags (including golf bags, skis, and snowboards), drinks, snacks, and cocktails inflight
    • Planeside baggage retrieval within minutes of arrival

    JSX was also the global launch customer for Starlink in-flight Wi-Fi and has offered this free on all flights since May 2023.

    Dallas to Santa Fe
    Nonstop flights between Santa Fe (SAF) and Dallas Love Field (DAL) begin on May 22, and will operate once a day, 5 days per week — through November 3, with fares starting from $349 one-way (based on roundtrip purchase).

    The flights are on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (although in June, the Saturday flights do not begin until June 28):

    • They leave Dallas at 1:15 pm and arrive at Santa Fe at 1:55 pm.
    • They leave Santa Fe at 2:30 pm and arrive at Dallas at 5:10 pm.

    Founded in 2016, JSX is a ‘hop-on’ public charter jet service that’s faster on the ground, more comfortable in the air, and is competitively priced.

    JSX provides up to 130 public charter flights daily to 26 business and leisure destinations across Arizona, California, Colorado, Mexico, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Texas.

    The flights to Santa Fe join JSX's service to Taos, which will begin on June 26.
