Heading north towards Marfa you will pass Shafter ghost town and Elephant rock. From Marfa you could take US90 to Van horn of continue to Fort davis historic park and TX118 through Davis mountains and Madera canyon to I-10. You would need to carefully check lodgings at Big bend and depending on when you are visiting, the weather.
