Amarillo
|
This city, almost smack-dab in the middle of the east and west coasts, pulls in almost 2 million visitors each year from every corner of the world. The main (natural) attraction here, stretching over 30,000 acres, is Palo Duro Canyon State Park, where you’ll find the second-largest canyon of its kind in the world. The summer presentation of the musical TEXAS! in the canyon’s amphitheater is a unique experience that transports you to the Old West. Whether strolling around the Cadillac Ranch or taking in a show at the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts, you’ll like the eclectic mix of the historic and the new here along with a multitude of shopping and dining.
