Phoenix to Big Bend Nat Paak route and sites?
We're planning to visit Big Bend National Park - leaving Phoenix sometime in Feb/March. The simple route appears to be Hwy I10 to 90 south. What places or side trips are there along the way worth...

We found that the Marfa Lights was a good stopping spot for us. I was not impressed with the lights, but we spent the night in the parking lot.
It was kind of neat to drive through Alpine,Texas. It is easy to forget parts of Texas are as "tall" as Denver.
There is a lot of nothing along that road!
If you like ghost towns, Sierra Blanca has some nice abandoned buildings.
Be careful in El Paso! They have a zillion of those concrete construction billets along the lanes. Many have steel brackets protruding. We lost a tire and wheel to one.
