Amarillo → Santa Fe

Choose Your Transport Wisely**:

Car**: Offers the most flexibility for scenic stops along Route 87, including the picturesque Capulin Volcano National Monument.

Bus**: Check Greyhound for schedules; it's usually the most economical option, but be prepared for longer travel times.

Train**: Amtrak doesn’t have a direct route, so consider combining train travel with bus services for a unique experience.

Flight**: While the flight is quick, consider the travel time to and from airports and potential layovers.

Book in Advance**:

For buses and flights, book your tickets at least a few weeks ahead to secure the best rates.

If driving, consider reserving accommodations in Santa Fe in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Timing is Key**:

If traveling by car, aim to leave early in the morning to avoid traffic and enjoy the beautiful sunrise views along the plains.

For bus or train, check departure times to avoid long layovers or late arrivals.

Pack Smart**:

Carry a small daypack with essentials like snacks, water, and entertainment, especially for bus or train travel where space is limited.

If flying, be mindful of luggage restrictions. A carry-on is often sufficient for a short trip.

Border Crossing**:

Although there are no international borders on this route, keep in mind that some bus services may require identification or documentation, especially if crossing state lines. Always check the latest travel regulations.
