06-2025 Larry McMurtry Literary Center in Hight rate 1 location for tourist in Archer City, TX, USAMERUS Adventure Park - Claude Michael Richter: Wow, just wow, cant describe in words, pictures wont and cant do this place justice. If you are on the fence, just go, whether you are a pro at offroading or a beginner. Ive been to Moab in Utah and still took the beginner course here it was a great deal of fun. The trail guides are fun engaging, and the day was I am already planning my next trip this time camping and some more wheeling. Just pull the trigger and go you wont regret it.
Cadillac Ranch - Amarillo Jason Dobbs: Really cool spot if you’re passing through the area worth a little bit of a detour spent about 30 minutes there taking photos. Somebody puts paint cans out so you can spray paint your own stuff on there which seems like a lot of fun. I didn’t do that cause I didn’t wanna get any pain on my hands When we were there. It was about 10 other people 15 other people, but it wasn’t too difficult to take photos making it look like you were all by yourself there that classic influencer style photo was a great little detour and a lot of fun pictures.
Palo Duro Canyon State Park - K9 Life Coach Scott: Beautiful canyon, with lots of talks and camping. I didnt get to camp. You can spend all day doing whatever. Im sure this place gets really busy, so be aware. Los of camping options, with clamping and camping. Bird watching. Good "Trading Post". Look for the Indigenous History there. Its important to understand that this is Kiowa and Comanche homelands. Why it was taken and how it happened. Its important to them. They do talks as well there.
Charles and Mary Ann Goodnight Ranch State Historic Site - Clarendon Cameron Hall: We stopped here for about 90 minutes to break up a drive from DFW to the Oklahoma panhandle. Everyone in my family (2 adults and 2 boys (8 and 12)) loved the tour and history. Such a great part of TX and western history and everything is so well preserved and recreated. I would highly recommend.
Patriot Peace Garden - Panhandle Dane Ward: This is one of my favorite little known highway roadside spots near Amarillo to bring friends. Everyone has heard of Cadillac Ranch, but not many are aware that on the opposite outskirts of Amarillo along I40 is a roadside monument with so much more meaning to it than a bunch of old cars artfully sticking out of the ground. Sometimes Ill even just come out here by myself with my guitar and play a few songs in tribute to the message this monument conveys. One day Id enjoy the opportunity to personally thank the man who had it built, and whos land it sits on... Richard Daniel Baker. Hes a local icon as far as Im concerned. ❤️
Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum - Canyon Trina Stephenson: Amazing History Museum across many disciplines. Geology, art, paleontology, history, and interesting special collections of textiles, guns, cars and the history of oil exploration. Very educational and you can easily spend a day or two here. I liked the fact that they had a STEAM education area, not STEM. Arts are necessary! Also, there is a great art collection here.
Amarillo Zoo - Amarillo jessica fuentes: Pretty small but fun to walk around. Took an hour or so to see the whole zoo. Cant beat it for the price though. 7.50 an adult
Saints Roost Museum - Clarendon Beistle Liam C J (Dr.): We had an awesome time at the annual Goodnight Chuck Wagon Cook Off in Clarendon Texas. Family fun at its finest. Each year third Saturday of September get your meal tickets reserved as the sell out each year. Ticket sales start first of September each year.
Thompson Memorial Park - Amarillo Terrin Dugan: Amazing park, always fun to come by. Large park with lots of green areas and lots to do. Lots of trees and shade and the grass is very green! Its also very clean and well maintained. Picnic tables and paved trails all throughout the park. Theres a couple of playgrounds, including a really neat pirate ship themed one, but that one is usually packed. Theres a pretty large dog park in it too. Theres a lake with a walking trail and benches around it. And of course, theres the zoo attached! You can see into the zoo from the outside at different parts of the park. I was able to see a fox and a camel from outside the zoo. Very comfortable place. Overall, its a great park that me and my kids!
