Paloma Projects pairs naturally with some of the most popular destinations in the Big Bend region.
Terlingua Ghost Town
The historic Terlingua Ghost Town is about 25 miles away, with nearby dining and sightseeing that bring the area’s mining history to life. The old porches, the cemetery on the hill, and the nightly gathering at the Starlight Theatre are the usual finish to a Big Bend day.
Lajitas
Lajitas is about 35 miles away on FM 170, a river-road stop with the resort and the eastern gate into Big Bend Ranch State Park. The drive itself — the River Road along the Rio Grande — is one of the region’s best half-days.
Big Bend Ranch State Park
Big Bend Ranch State Park is about 35 miles away, with river-road overlooks, backcountry miles, and a different side of the desert than the national park — fewer people, more dirt road, and long views off FM 170.
