15 Best Things To Do in Amarillo, Texas

About Amarillo, Texas

As small as it is, Amarillo surprises the visitor with its surprisingly large number of attractions and treats. The city lies at the midpoint of Route 66 that’s taken by RVers and road-trippers alike.

Possibly the most popular attraction in the area is Cadillac Ranch, where you can make your own graffiti on one of the many Cadillacs half-buried into the sand. Oh, and there’s no need to bring your own spray paints. You’ll find many half-filled cans in the field to grace the old cards with your artistic verve.

Another attraction nearby is the Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which features the second-largest US canyon. The park offers everything from mountain biking and geocaching to camping and hiking - the adventure begins here.
