which is the fastest route between flagstaff, az & katy, tx in may?

   Posted by: admin   in Kingman Communities

we have 2 kids under 3, so need occassional stops plus make it a 2 day drive of about 9 hours each day. one way we’re going thru roswell and san antonio. what about the other way? should we go interstate or smaller highways in NM & TX?

i just made the trip from cali to houston…ive gone ther 2 different ways (using I-10) and using (I-40)

i like using (I-40) thru flagstaff…taking it thru new mexico (theyve got a couple of indian casino/resorts right before u reach albuquerque)then when u reach amarillo, tx u go onto state route 287 (no traffic whatsoever but u must slow down when u hit the small towns along the way) all the way to ft.worth/arlington…once u hit dallas…go on (I-45) and a few hrs later ur in houston…then jump on (I-10) and ur in katy.

I-45 south to houston has some of the best rest areas ive ever seen. clean, safe and some even have a lounge to sit and wait in. yah, it might sound geeky, but when ur on a LONG drive a good rest area is a refreshing change.

hope that helps

NM is pretty dead (parents live their) so going to the smaller highways will just slow you down as there is nothing really to look at.

I’d take a plane b/c I hate road trips.
