The Six Most Instagramable Spots in Marfa, Texas!
After we hiked Guadalupe Mountains National Park, we popped down to Marfa, Texas for a little visit.
Marfa is known as a hub for the arts, and it did not disappoint! Everything we saw in Marfa, from the permanent art installations to the thoughtfully designed landscape, was infused with art.
And it definitely prompted some conversations with the kids, who can sometimes be a little rowdy when free from the constraints of the truck or the airstream.
We got to talk about how art can come in many shapes and forms, and that the person who carefully designed and placed the mulch they just ran through cares as much about their art as the kids care about the pictures they carefully color every day. That really landed with all three kids and gave them new perspective as we explored all that Marfa has to offer.
Aside from good material for teaching lifelong lessons, Marfa also has some incredibly IG-worthy destinations. Here are some of my favorite Marfa stops that would also look great on the ‘gram.
Sure, it may be silly to plan what you want to see in a town based on how it’ll look on Instagram, but I think the point is that Marfa is a small town that packs a big punch. I love the idea that if we focus on being where we are, and if we can be grateful for what we have, we can make anything beautiful. We don’t need to find a reason to create beauty. We can do it just because we can.
