I'm thinking about taking US 287 north out of Amarillo then US 87 towards New Mexico.

For those that are familiar with these roads, are they in reasonably good shape (no disrespect intended) and allow traffic to move along at a good pace?

TIA!

 

They are both good roads. But in NM watch out for the ****** with the Smokey the Bear hats.....

 

maybe I'm missing something... (not unusual for me) I thought US 87 goes through south to San Antonio down to Port Lavaca??

and US 287 North goes from Amarillo to Denver??

 

correct 87 leaves amarillo north and joins 287 then splits in Dumas and 87 goes into NM.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

my bad. I read that the poster was going to Mexico, not New Mexico..... told you I was missing something.

 

no problem

 

The scenery sure gets alot nicer in NM and watch out for antelope along that stretch or road.

 

they have antelope like we have deer in central Texas
