With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Albany, 45 miles away, has to offer. Albany Golf Club, Fort Griffin Fandangle and Old Jail Art Center alone justify the drive. Situated 50 miles away, Abilene is another popular destination. If you drop by, don’t miss Mall of Abilene, Abilene Zoo and Paramount Theatre.
