Not necessarily just this town, but within a ~90 radius there are only a handful of other towns, most if not all smaller. I just love the area in general.
Love the area also...raced there numerous times. The last two were burned out by wildfires.
Medical care there is iffy. Alpine Med is a pretty basic, anything beyond that and you either life flight or drive two hours to El Paso or Midland. Same with commercial flights.
In the past it had been a huge people/drug smuggling corridor. Not sure what the situation is now.
Great scenery and wildlife. The road riding is great though limited to the few roads in the area.
