Cabazon, located in Riverside County, California, USA, is a quiet town along Route 66, about 130 kilometers from Los Angeles. Though small, it is known for its unique landmarks - two giant dinosaur sculptures (Brontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex, respectively), built in the 1960s, which have become a popular stopping point on road trips. The town's Cabazon Outlets attracts many tourists with a collection of more than a hundred brand-name discount stores. The surrounding natural beauty and proximity to the San Gono Mountains make it ideal for short hikes and recreation. As the gateway connecting Los Angeles to the desert region, Cabazon is a one-stop leisure destination on a California trip with its nostalgic atmosphere and specialty attractions.
Marfa is a small town in southern Texas, USA. It is located on a plateau in the largest desert of the North American continent, less than 100 kilometers away from the U.S.-Mexico border. Founded as a railway station in the early 1880s, Marfa later developed into a settled community.
The town has a small population, with 1,788 residents recorded in the 2020 census. Boasting unique and pristine Western landscapes, it has served as a filming location for numerous movies such as No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood. Marfa also draws many tourists with the "Marfa Lights," a natural mystery, and an official observation site has been set up for visitors to view this phenomenon. Additionally, it is a hub for contemporary art—minimalist artist Donald Judd has a large number of his works on display here, and the Chinati Foundation he founded is a major art attraction.
