A little West Texas roadtrip to Marathon, Alpine, Marfa, Fort Davis and Van Horn, with stays at 3 Trost Hotels.

Marathon TX

With a lengthy drive from just about anywhere, the name Marathon seems to make sense for this remote Texas outpost in Big Bend country. About 8 hours from Dallas, Marathon is the first stop on this roadtrip. Destination…Gage Hotel.

The Gage Hotel was created in 1927 by famed El Paso architect Henry Trost.
