Not to Scale
If you blink while driving along U.S. Highway 90, you
could miss the town of Marathon completely. With a
population of just over 400, it's a blip of civilization in an
otherwise vacant basin of Brewster County. But don't be
fooled by its size. This former railroad shipping town
contains some serious artistic talent and world-class lodging
and dining.
