Known as the “Yellow Rose of Texas”, Amarillo takes every opportunity to celebrate the Lone Star state’s rich cowboy and Texas culture. Between hosting the illustrious Tri-State Fair & Rodeo each fall and being home to The Big Texan Steak Ranch on Route 66, famous for offering a free 72 oz. beef steak to anyone who can eat it in under an hour, you’ll be doing a two-step around town before you know it! While you’re here, be sure to take in the breathtaking vistas at Amarillo’s hidden gem – Palo Duro Canyon State Park – the second largest canyon in the United States.
