Fall Road Trip Destinations Around Midland - Rogers Ford Blog

Cooler weather is here in Texas, and it’s time to hit the road and enjoy it! It’s time to hop into one of the many great Ford SUVs and enjoy the open highway. Ford has an SUV for a family of any size, from the compact Ford Escape to the full-sized Ford Expedition with enough towing power to bring a trailer full of family fun along. You just need a destination. Here are some of our picks for a great Texas road trip.

Odessa

Want a road trip but don’t want to spend a lot of time on the road? Spend the day in Odessa and maximize your family fun time. Our next-door neighbor has a lot to offer for kids of all ages. Looking for a little old-world culture? Catch a show at the Globe of the Great Southwest, a theatre inspired by Shakespeare’s original Globe Theatre. The renovated Ector Theater or Permian Playhouse are more great options. For an educational good time, check out the Presidential Museum and Leadership Library, which chronicles the history of the presidency. 

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

You’re just a few hours from one of the most famous national parks in the States, Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The striking beauty of the massive limestone caverns can be enjoyed at your own pace or with a guided tour. The park has attractions above ground as well as under, including hiking trails for backpacking. While they’re in town, stay to watch the bats emerge at sunset.

Big Bend National Park

If roomy caverns aren’t your speed, enjoy some big sky at Big Bend National Park. The big bend in question is on the Rio Grande River, but the park itself includes over eight hundred thousand acres. There’s no shortage of things to do on all that land. From over 150 miles of hiking trails to scenic tours by air, land, and river, you’ll find something to enjoy at Big Bend.
