Note: The other half of Glenrio is across the border in New Mexico.

Going west from Glenrio you have a choice. In good dry weather taking the dirt road west takes you past the ruins at Endee and on to San Jon. In less good weather returning to I-40 and heading west will rake you to Russell's Travel Center at exit 369 in NM and on to San Jon to at Hwy. 93.

The "West" link below takes you to the main New Mexico index, the EAST link takes you back to Adrian.
