Out on the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, the Best Western Plus Red River Inn makes a friendly family base in Clarendon, Texas, near Route 66 country.
Summer weekends still bring double features to the classic Sandell Drive-In nearby, the swimming, boating and fishing of Greenbelt Lake spread just outside town, and the red rock walls of Palo Duro Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the country, open a short drive west.
A free hot breakfast and an easy highway location round out the stay, with dining and the road close by. Cattle ranches and cotton fields stretch to the horizon across the high plains, a steam-train depot and museum recall the town's frontier past, and the buffalo, hiking and horseback trails of the canyon's state park open a short drive west. The musical drama Texas plays under the canyon walls on summer nights, and Route 66 towns and the Cadillac Ranch sit up the road. Amarillo's stockyards and museums lie about an hour up the interstate.
