In the order you would pass them, driving from Dallas. “Into the drive” is measured along the real route rather than in a straight line. The time is proportional — this site knows how long the whole drive takes and how far along each stop sits, not how fast any one stretch of it moves. Hours are subject to change and may vary during holidays, by season, and due to staffing.
