We stayed in a pet-friendly Red Roof hotel in Van Horn, TX, to visit Guadalupe Mountains National Park which was located 65 miles up north.
After two days, we drove about 450 miles to our next destination, Red Roof Tucson, AZ, crossing the New Mexico and Arizona state line borders. Since we explored the Tucson area in 2021, we only spent the night. The next day, we added another 410 miles and arrived around 3 pm at our new Airbnb in San Diego, CA.
