re: Driving from Denver to North Texas- Best Route? (Update Pg 4)

If you don’t go through Quanah Parker, Texas you are doing it wrong. They have a Wal Marks.

You bringing some gummy bears back ?

I always went thru Amarillo. I like the scenery and isolation

Go to south Colorado from Houston every year for hunting and some version of 1 is the way. Waze comes up with a new through Amarillo every year.

We make that drive most years. Route 1 through Amarillo is the answer. Just do it in one 12 hour day. No need to stop. We do stop in Wichita Falls usually on way back to BR.

Option 1 and stop here for lunch or dinner.

Option 1. You’ll get a speeding ticket in Claude, TX but that’s all part of the charm.

This is undoubtedly old man yells at cloud, but I truly miss pulling out the maps and actually deciding for yourself the best route. Knowing exactly how to get to every business in a city is pretty great, but planning a multi-state trip on the dinning room table is real collateral damage.

Two lane highways suck. Take the interstate route.

I did 287 from around Dallas to Amarillo as part of a drive to Vegas I did last summer. Was pleasantly surprised at how good the road was. Almost all 4 lane as I recall and good quality road. There are a few small towns you have to go through, but nothing that really slowed me down.

I concur, drove Dallas to Colorado Springs last year. Was definitely pleasantly surprised.
