Glenrio, Texas and New Mexico
Straddling the border of Texas and New Mexico, the ghost town of Glenrio was once a thriving stop on Route 66. When the interstate bypassed it in the 1970s, the community vanished almost overnight. Today, empty motels and diners sit under the desert sun as relics of the golden age of road travel. For those drawn to the history of Americana, Glenrio offers a poignant snapshot of lost highways.
