9 Reviews The Cadillac Ranch was a huge disappointment. From photos going back about forty years, I was expecting a pink Cadillac or two. What exists now is a lot of graffiti-covered junk. All the original paint is gone, and some of the cars have been vandalized. I hate to say it is a reflection of the way...
3 Reviews The guide you obtain when you enter Palo Duro Canyon informs that the park consists of 18,438 acres in Randall and Armstrong Counties, encompassing a formation which is about 120 miles long and 600' to 1000' feet deep. It was formed less than a million years ago when the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the...
2 Reviews The American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum is a hidden gem of Western art in the Texas Panhandle. The moment you approach, you are greeted by the beautiful, larger-than-life bronze statues of history-making American Quarter Horses Rugged Lark and Refrigerator. Visitors can spend time...
American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum
2 Reviews This museum is either recently renovated or newly constructed. All of the exhibits are in like-new condition. The lower level has hands-on areas for children and adults alike to learn about horses in general and American Quarter horses in particular. The upper level have various memorabilia covering...
1 Review The Shortgrass Country Museum is located is SAYRE's Old Rock Island Depot, 106 E. Street. The depot is perhaps Sayre's most important historical landmark; were it not for the train, Sayre might never have been born.
BruceDunning Says: The downtown is dead for the most part. It has the Santa Fe building and one other high tower structure, but the rest are vacant, or barely occupied buildings. Historic Polk district is just south of town, and is not much to speak about; but do drive by
BruceDunning Says: It is located to the far eastern section of town, and on the frontage road; across from the visitor center. it was not open when I was there, and is said to be open Wed-Sunday form 1-5PM. Charge is $5. It states it has some art works and artifacts.
BruceDunning Says: This is a nice, but a bit small facility; yet again good for the city to view. Fee to enter may be $3, but sometimes it is free. There is a main building that is administrative, and the hot house holding the tropical vegetation.

BruceDunning Says: This is local fast food place that features basic and staple food types. Prices are very reasonable and serves burgers, breakfasts, chicken fried steak, and more. The burgers are great, especially for the price ranges; $1.50-4.00.
BruceDunning Says: The steak I had at 32 ounces was one of the best tasting I have eaten in years. All of the steaks are quality and the other food also good quality and plentiful. Also along with the plates of food is baked potato, salad, and breads. The steak was $22 for what I ordered and...
Boozoo Says: Nightlife is predominantly Country music related although there are a few clubs that are pop music. I've been away from that scene for a long time but the Caravan club on Paramount was always a big spot for some good two-steppin'. Hats and boots!
Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport
der_geograf Says: In 2003, Amarillo International Airport (code: AMA) was renamed for native Amarilloan Rick Husband, a NASA astronaut who was killed when the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated in the skies of Texas and Louisiana on Feb. 1, 2003. Husband was the mission's commander. (Read...

Cavender's Boot City #34: Cowboy Fashions in Amarillo
atufft Says: We had missed the opportunity to shop for Texas boots where they are made--El Paso--so we took the opportunity to see what we could find in the cowboy outpost of Amarillo. Cavender's #34 off I-40. I bought a pair of brown ostrich skin boots with all leather soles and no...
Boozoo Says: You can't drive through Amarillo on I-40 without seeing the Big Texan steak house. It's definitely a tourist trap, but if you're just passing through, it will make for a pretty good memory with lots of photograph opportunities outside. You might even get to see someone...
Palo Duro Canyon-Lighthouse trail
BruceDunning Says: This is the most difficult trail and it is 6 miles round trip. Many people attempt to get to the top at 400 feet, but the last leg of the climb is too much for the average person; a lot of rock/boulders to get over and steep path.
BruceDunning Says: This is a wonderful terrain located about 30 miles south of US 40 highway. There is a road that goes in a circle for 10-12 miles around the canyon valley. Along the route are hiking trails, of which one is moderately difficult and the others are easy. The most difficult is...
finally in the Wild Wild West!
richiecdisc Says: The night before had been far better than our Little Rock excursion the previous day. Oklahoma City had proved more inviting and interesting than its Arkansas cousin. The best part was that even though we had another four hours to drive after we left Oklahoma City, we got...
sourbugger Says: Amarillo was a small town that has been well known in the UK for a long time, mainly due to song that was originally sung by Tony Christie. In 2005 it was re-worked (well mimed) by the comedian Peter Kaye with a host of celebrities in support. The lyrics are as below, join...

I am sure Amarillo is a lovely place to live. Lots of people do, anyway. But it would be difficult for me to say candidly that I appreciated their home town, because each time I've paid a visit to...
Since the 16th century, Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle have drawn visitors from around the world. Francisco Coronado, the first European to see the vast open spaces of the American Southwest,...
Texas Roadhouse and Cavendar's Boot City
We had a long day driving from Louisiana through to Amarillo. (see my page for Memphis, TX). We stayed at the Day's Inn, ate dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and shopped for cowboy boots, all of which are...
The original plan was to drive all the way through Amarillo and hit Santa Fe, however we decided to break it up since it was the first roadtrip with Anna, and 10 hours straight in a car might have...
Build it and They will come: Cadillac Ranch
The Yellow Rose of Texas, Amarillo, lies smack dab in the middle of the narrowest part of the state which spans a mere two and a half hours across. This makes the drive a lot less daunting than...
