About Study Butte

Set right outside the western entrance to Big Bend National Park, Study Butte is a tiny, rugged desert community in West Texas. Born as a quicksilver mining camp in the early 1900s, the town today blends seamlessly with neighboring Terlingua as a practical hub for park explorers. Home to about 200 year-round residents, it offers a quiet, self-reliant lifestyle surrounded by wide-open desert landscapes and world-class dark night skies.
