Alpine

Travel Guide

To get to this extremely remote low pool called the Ernst Tinaja, you have to drive a high-clearance or 4WD vehicle on Old Ore Road in Big Bend National Park and hike about a mile. It was sweltering in April but so worth it to see the pink and orange flaky layers of rock laid down by eons of a shallow inland sea. The pool is a scary toxic green, and with its steep sides is a death trap to creatures other than birds or insects.

Alpine is a small town between Marfa, TX and Big Bend. It is full of small diners and great, West Texas shops. Nice street art too!
The sun sets over the Chihuahuan Desert between Teralingua, Texas, and Mexico.

I enjoyed my stay. The hotel is 2nd floor of a bar which is pretty noisy until midnight. Otherwise, you will enjoy your stay!
