| Question |
"After spending the night in Amarillo in late August, should we stay over and visit some sites?"
|
| The Guide Says ... |
"There are lots of things to do in Amarillo, and they certainly warrant at least one full day. Visit our Amarillo Excursia site and browse through our "Attractions" pages to see if there are any attractions that interest you.
You certainly can't go near Amarillo without seeing the Cadillac Ranch. Additionally, I recommend a visit to Palo Duro Canyon, 6th Street's Route 66, Amarillo's Museums, or possibly the symphony or the ballet."
