Marfa, Texas: Marfa Mystery Lights

The bathrooms on the viewing deck are full of bird nests and the momma birds panic when you walk in. In front of the deck is a plaque laying out some quick info on the history of Marfa.

The lights were stunning during my visit, and the sky was clear enough to see some constellations and Venus in the sky.

There's a viewing station for the Marfa Lights. The lights were visible during our visit.

Didn't see any lights there, but there was a very annoying hippie talking about shamanism nonstop while everyone tried to look at the incredible stars.

Hate to break the code of silence, but every law enforcement officer will tell you it is just the car lights on that mountain. People drop off illegal aliens on that mountain all the time. You will get pulled over numerous times and be checked on that mountain because of this. Sorry to ruin the hoo-ha...

I have been there dozens of times and saw the light every time except once. There is now an official viewing structure to visit and stand to see the lights. The State built it and maintains it. There is low lighting, so you don't lose your night vision, and restrooms. The wall of the structure helps block headlights from the road.
