When traveling through West Texas, we stay overnight (or longer) outside Fort Davis. Davis Mountains State Park has FHU and is in a great location, and makes a nice springboard to see Marfa lights, Fort Davis National Historic Park, the McDonald Observatory (Star Party!) among other things. If you are into cutting edge modern art that makes absolutely no sense to most of us, then you will love Marfa.
The drive south of Marfia on US 67 to 169 all the way down to the border where it intersects 170, then west to Terlingua is very scenic although most of 169 is gravel. There are places on that road that will have you looking for John Wayne riding up on his horse.
