US 287 is a good hwy, 4 lane most of the route. The Texas Panhandle is about 3400 to 3600 feet in elevation. 287 is a continues gain elevation, not near the elevation change connecting to I-25. I use to travel 287 3 or 4 times a year, not as much recently.
When pulling 5ver I have always avoid higher populated cities. I hate traffic in cities.
I have family in Lubbock, Amarillo and Dalhart. Born and raised in the Texas Panhandle.
I alway call the state highway departments in the states I travel in for road information.
