Amarillo TX United States of America

Amarillo, which means "yellow" in Spanish, is the heart of the Texas Panhandle, situated on the brink of the Great Plains. Amarillo offers a genuine Western heritage, a unique geographical area with vast open spaces and stunning sunrises and sunsets. With its relatively mild climate, the city is rated as having some of the cleanest air in the country. Indians, conquistadors, buffalo hunters, settlers, cowboys, adventurers, lawmen, gunfighters, and the railway all contributed in many ways to the development and growth of the area. That heritage is still felt here, where "cowboy" is still a respected profession. Here you can enjoy the very best of the Old and New West! Today Amarillo is one of the dominant cities in the Panhandle Plains and is home to a variety of industries along with a number of places to interest tourists, especially those on the Route 66. Amarillo is also the gateway to Palo Duro Canyon, America's second largest canyon. Palo Duro Canyon is unique with rock formations and a valley with wonderful views and pictures.
