Glenrio, Texas
Ghost town on the Texas and New Mexico line with old motels, cafes and signs.

Glenrio sat on the state line and thrived until the interstate bypassed it. The ruins of motels, a cafe and a gas station are still standing and the 'First Motel in Texas' sign can still be seen. A moody, quiet stop. Stay on the road edge and respect private land.
