Amarillo is the business center of the Texas Panhandle, a region built on cattle, feedyards, beef processing, wheat and energy. The Pantex plant east of town, hospitals serving a wide rural area and a roster of ranching, agricultural and energy companies make it a frequent stop for executives and specialists who need to cover a lot of ground quickly.

That ground is considerable. Oklahoma City, Albuquerque and Dallas are each several hours away by car, and the open highways of the High Plains can be long and windy. Flying private lets you reach Amarillo in the morning, see a ranch, a plant or a client, and be home that night without connecting through a hub. Leisure travelers come for Palo Duro Canyon, often called the second-largest canyon in the country, the stretch of Route 66 that runs through town, the spray-painted Cadillacs of Cadillac Ranch, and steaks served with Panhandle hospitality. The Panhandle’s wide-open skies also make for spectacular sunsets.

Things to do in Amarillo

When to go. Late spring through early fall is prime time for Palo Duro Canyon, especially when the outdoor musical TEXAS plays in the canyon’s amphitheater during the summer season. Summer days are warm, but nights cool off nicely at the Panhandle’s elevation. Fall brings crisp air and ranch country at its best, while winters can be cold, windy and occasionally snowy, so keep an eye on the forecast before planning.
