Great Escapes: Our guide to Marfa, TX

Greetings from Marfa (and 6AM Campaign Strategist Stephanie Rogers). If you love cowboy boots and country songs, paranormal happenings, and huge pieces of minimalist art, then get in the Chevy — we’re going to Marfa.

Marfa first landed on my radar in 2017. I was on a cross-country road trip and kept hearing about this tiny art oasis in the middle of nowhere, West Texas. When I learned that Marfa was also the shooting location for “Giant,” the 1955 Western starring James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor (Dean’s third and final film), I knew I had to go — and Marfa’s been rolling around my mind like Texas tumbleweed ever since.
