Amarillo, Texas, is Route 66's Panhandle stop for barbecue, Cadillac Ranch, the 6th Street district and Palo Duro Canyon.
🐂 Welcome to Amarillo
Amarillo is the big city of the Texas Panhandle and a classic Route 66 stop. Think barbecue, antiques on Historic 6th Street and the half-buried cars of Cadillac Ranch.
🏞️ Palo Duro Canyon
The second-largest canyon in the United States is about 45 minutes south and well worth a day.
One thing to note: after heavy rain the canyon trails can close, so check before you set off.

- ✈️ The Texas Air & Space Museum is good on a wet day.
- 🛍️ Buc-ee's is an experience in itself.
