Alpine

The varied landscape of mountains, desert, and the grassy hills of the Big Bend region attract folks out to play in all seasons. The surrounding environs are perfect for observing wildlife while partaking a scenic drive. And locals can always choose to stay in town and enjoy a rodeo, baseball game, or a pleasant afternoon in the park. For even more excitement, many hot-air balloons fly majestically over the City of Alpine during the Big Bend Balloon Bash over Labor Day Weekend.

A brand new fifteen million dollar, state of the art medical center opened in September, 1999, and provides high-quality medical services to Alpine residents within minutes of the downtown area.

Combine these things with Alpine's amazing art scene, and it comes as no surprise that the town has earned its place among The 100 Best Small Towns in America!
