The Panhandle Plains has long been a stop for cross-country travelers thanks to the famous Route 66, which ran right through the heart of Amarillo. The historic route runs right through the heart of this Panhandle city and today offers lots of unique shops and restaurants. Amarillo is also the cultural and commercial capital of the Texas Panhandle.

Amarillo and the nearby community of Canyon are the gateway to the nation's second largest canyon, Palo Duro Canyon State Park, a Texas-sized wonder that stretches 120 miles. Summer visitors enjoy an outdoor production that brings to life the struggles of the area's pioneers and native residents.

South of Amarillo lies Lubbock, known for its winery industry. Spend an afternoon touring elegant wineries. Lubbock area grapes are shipped to wineries throughout Texas and their home product has won numerous international awards. Further south, the city of San Angelo grew from historic Fort Concho.

On the northern boundaries of this region lies Wichita Falls, just minutes from the Oklahoma border. On the eastern edge stands Abilene where history and culture join together.
