Planning a group trip with your guy friends is a great bonding activity. Although there’s nothing wrong with a trip to the beach or weekend stay in the city at a cool motel, choosing something more adventurous ensures everyone will return home with memories to last a lifetime. Make Lubbock, TX, your destination of choice for a rodeo-themed vacation. The northwest Texas town has a thriving rodeo scene along with a plethora of other activities to enjoy.  

How to Get the Most Out of a Guys’ Trip in the Lubbock, TX, Area

Explore Around the Rodeo

Although the steer wrestling, tie-down roping, bareback bronc riding, and additional activities on the rodeo arena floor are sure to hold your attention, take time to explore the surrounding area, too. The guys can enjoy Texas barbecue and other regional cuisine at food stalls, get a chance to see cowboys practicing, and more. 

Take in the Beauty of the Texas Landscape on a Hike

Instead of heading to the hotel gym to work off the hearty Texas cuisine from the rodeo, hit the trails instead. Opting for a hike is a great way to work up a sweat while taking in the beauty of the Texas landscape. The group can enjoy the meandering paths at Mackenzie State Recreation Area, a 542-acre park in northeast Lubbock. 

Enjoy the Local Bar Scene

Toast to your time together with lively libations at one of Lubbock’s many bars. From a low-key evening spent catching up at a cocktail lounge to cheering on local teams at a sports bar, there are plenty of places to enjoy a drink in the community. 

When looking for a comfortable motel in the Lubbock area, book a reservation in nearby Levelland at Best Inn Texas. Everyone in your party will be able to spread out in the spacious, recently renovated rooms and enjoy in-room flat screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and other creature comforts of home. To arrange an overnight stay at the Levelland motel, call (806) 894-7335 to speak with the receptionist. They’ll also provide suggestions to make your vacation more fun. Visit the motel online to discover why it's the perfect place to stay during your guys’ trip, and like them on Facebook to see pictures of the rooms.
