Travel Texas from Top to Bottom on U.S. Highway 281

Travel Texas from Top to Bottom —
U.S. Highway 281

Running straight through the heart of Texas from top to bottom, U.S. Highway 281 is a banner of Lone Star hospitality unfurling to welcome travelers weary from the chaos, congestion and crowds of the interstates and cities.

U.S. 281 offers you a chance to get off the fast-track and enjoy the back roads of Texas, meandering from one little town to the next.

Along the way you can mix and mingle with interesting characters, chow down on savory BBQ ribs, dance a little Texas Swing, shop unique Mom & Pop stores, drop your fishing line in the water, park your RV under a shade tree, spend the day at a fun festival, and so much more.

“… we found that the destination had lost its charm. The journey itself had become the prize, a precious cache of small-town memories and Lone Star people.”
