If you want to find out what a couple miles past remote looks like , see the best sunset of your life , or just curious to see the true rugged West , then Study Butte , Terlingua and Lajitas , Texas is the place for you .
You ' ll see the windswept remnants of an old mining town , a landscape stripped away of all life save for a few resilient residents in Terlingua , a vibrant gateway to Big Bend National Park in Study Butte and a very unique resort in Lajitas . But like every other community in the region , it ' s got even more to it than you might expect .
For one exciting week in November of every year , Terlingua is transformed into the most highly populated town in the entire Big Bend Region as tourists , chili enthusiasts , and adventurous spirits pour in by the thousands for the International Chili Championship .
The area is a manageable 80 miles south of Alpine and can be experienced in a day . There are some notable art galleries to see and the ghost town to wander through . The Starlight Theatre also serves up some seriously good food and has a porch that provides the best view of the unbeatable sunset . If the charm of the place really sinks in spend the night or escape civilization entirely and spend a lifetime .
