Situated in majestic Far West Texas, Alpine is often heralded as a gem in the desert for its independent spirit, vibrant atmosphere, and surrounding natural beauty. The charming downtown area is the heart of the city, teeming with art galleries, antique stores, specialty shops, and diverse restaurants in historic buildings adorned with elaborate murals.

Alpine is also the gateway to the stunning Big Bend National Park, complete with mountains, desert terrain, and access to the Rio Grande, which provide ample opportunities for outdoor adventure. Sports fans delight in Alpine’s historic Kokernot Field, a scaled-down replica of Wrigley Field, which houses the home-favorite, minor-league baseball team—the Cowboys.

Sul Ross State University calls Alpine home, contributing an array of educational, cultural, and service-oriented opportunities to the community. Alpine residents and visitors can find the Museum of the Big Bend on Sul Ross State’s campus too.
