    i was visiting Amarillo for a week and needed to get my runs in while training for a marathon and…read moreone of the closest trails and parks was Medi Park on the north side of town in the medical district. There's a large playground, the Amarillo Botanical Garden next door and a 1 mile loop around the pond which made it easy to do my runs. I was warned about the geese infestation and the possibility of geese poop on the trail. I didn't see any while I was visiting, but I thought that was worth noting. There's an extended part of the trail but you have to cross traffic for it, so the one mile loop worked best for me. A lot of people were walking the trail through my three visits, a school bus was there with kids in the playground and on Saturday plenty of people were fishing in the pond. A really great and well maintained park!

    Medi Park in Amarillo is a true hidden gem -- peaceful, pretty, and perfect for a walk, a picnic,…read moreor just a deep breath. I stopped by not expecting much, and ended up staying longer than planned. The lake in the middle is calm and relaxing, with ducks waddling around like they own the place (and honestly, they do). There's a playground that kids were loving, plenty of open space, and shady spots to kick back. Everything was clean, safe, and just felt easy. Whether you want to stretch your legs, feed the ducks, or just enjoy some sunshine, Medi Park is one of those simple, happy places that makes a town feel like home. Five stars, no doubt.

    On a work trip in Amarillo and thought I would do some sight seeing. A short 30 minute drive to the…read morestate park was worth it. A day pass is $8.00 and is good till 10:00PM (you can leave and come back). They give you a map as well. You can drive the whole thing and see a lot from your car. There's also plenty of pull-offs for picture opportunities. For ones that like hiking, there's plenty of that there. I'm not big into hiking, and I also didn't pack to do so. Lol. There is cave you see from the road, and if you want you can do a short hike to it. I wasn't on planning really hiking anywhere but this was short enough. Easy to get up, going down you have to be a lil careful. Good place for pictures too. Camping ground are available too. Anyways, if you're in town visiting or never have been there, I definitely recommend it!

    Palo Duro Canyon State park is near Amarillo Texas. It's the second largest canyon in the United…read moreStates. It's 27,173 acres 120 miles and 600 to 800 ft deep. But you can only drive 16 miles on a paved road. Then you turn around and drive back. Palo Duro Canyon State Park officially opened on July 4,1934 and it cost $8.00 a person to enter. You can camp in tents-RVs with electricity and water. Also rental cabins that look pretty cool overlooking the canyon. Picnic tables and various locations over 40 miles of hiking and biking trails. They have stables with guided horseback rides. Parks Museum store has exhibits about history, geology, and wildlife. They have a natural observatory for birdwatching. And a trading post with restaurant and a park store. During the summer hours an open air outdoor drama theater nestled at the foothills of the cliff. This is a beautiful state park and we're glad we seen it.

    Being a native Texan, I had heard of this place my entire life. This was even before social media,…read morewhen the stories traveled. Being a native Texan who moved to Colorado in '99, I had driven by this place for years, going from home to home for holidays and other occasions. Finally, I took the turnoff. I don't guess I really knew what to expect when I arrived. There were cars parked along the road, running up and down a field with a paved path leading to an open plot. And then, they were. 10 cars buried at a steep slope, dripping in puddles of color, stand stark in the West Texas flat, dry dirt. It's weird. It's hokey. It's one of the most Texas things to ever be in Texas; I love it! If you like roadside attractions, this is totally worth the turnoff. If you're driving to or from Texas to Colorado, just do it. It's a fun solo excursion. It's a fun family excursion. There's something about adding to the paint and joining the living history of paint upon paint, upon paint. Only in Texas...

    Do NOT believe these fools giving this place 4 stars. We were driving from DFW to Colorado, so this…read moreplace was literally on the way ... and we were still irritated with the detour. All the pics that make Cadillac Ranch look 'cool' are super zoomed in close-ups. It's 10 car-like blobs buried half way into hard-pack dirt and windy AF. Do not make a special trip here *unless* you are already in Amarillo for some other reason. Seriously.
