Planning a 10 day road trip from Houston to White Sands NP, Roswell, Santa Fe, & Taos, then back to Houston this summer. Looking for any pointers/advice.
Trying to decide if we should go (A) I10 to El Paso and loop up around and then for the return go the northern/central Texas routes through either Lubbock or Amarillo or (B) if we should skip the southern route complete and just do both ways through similar northern/central Texas routes.
Route (A) would be Houston -> Ozona -> El Paso -> White Sands NP -> Roswell -> Santa Fe -> Taos -> Wichita Falls -> Houston
Route (B) would be Houston -> Wichita Falls -> Taos -> Santa Fe -> White Sands NP -> Roswell -> Abilene, TX -> Houston
Planning 1 day for White Sands NP, 1 day for Roswell, 2 days for Santa Fe, and 2 days for Taos, and the other places will be just passing through only and it will be myself, my wife, and our 9 year-old boy & girl twins.
Any advise which would be the better route?
Thanks,
Jim
