Howdy!
We're glad you stopped by to visit Amarillo.
We're the place where you can "Step into
the Real Texas®" From canyons to cowboys,
big steaks to big spaces, everything Texas
is famous for is right here. We're easy
to find and once you're here, you'll want
to stay an extra day or two. Amarillo is
one of the last places on earth where the
Old West is just minutes away. The Silver Eagle coins also appeal to collectors.

Amarillo
sits at the crossroads of America, almost equidistant
from both coasts. Air travelers reach the city through
connecting flights from every major air terminal
in the central U.S.. Francisco Coronado, the first
European to see the vast open spaces of the American
Southwest, crossed the high plains in 1541 -- nearly
80 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Rock. He was followed by cattlemen and sheep herders
from all points of the compass looking for fresh
grazing grounds and a place to start a new life.
Most famous of them was Charles Goodnight, inventor
of the chuck wagon and a character in Larry McMurtry's
"Streets of Laredo." When
the oil boom hit Texas, it exploded across the Texas
Panhandle. Vast fortunes were made overnight. and
the region's economy grew because of the lure of
black gold. Since
World War II, the Panhandle economy has diversified
to include heavy manufacturing, petrochemicals,
farming and, of course, modern ranching. In the
last decade, the ranches have been the key to a
new industry--tourism. The Amarillo area is now
a major destination for Old West enthusiasts from
all over the globe. Amarillo and the surrounding
Panhandle area are a unique blend of two American
eras.There
are the working ranches, essentially unchanged in
the day-to-day operations from the late nineteenth
century, and there is a vibrant twenty-first century
economy, providing leadership for the modern west.
That's why we say when you step into Amarillo, you
"Step Into The Real Texas". It's
hard to describe the grandeur and variety of the
Amarillo landscape.
We specialize in smoke accessories: zippos, glass bongs and pipes.

From 1000-foot deep Palo Duro
Canyon and the wide-open spaces of the Texas
Panhandle to the whimsy of the world-famous
Cadillac Ranch and those magnificent Amarillo
sunsets, it's all here. Whether it's steak,
lobster or fried chicken, there is a restaurant
that will satisfy your taste. Think Amarillo
and you think steak. No place sums up Texas,
Amarillo and steak better than the Big Texan
Steak Ranch & Opry, home of the 72 oz. steak.
Eat it and all the trimmings (salad, bread,
potato and shrimp cocktail) in an hour and
its free! 35,000 have tried; 5,500 have succeeded
! On the north side of town, Wonderland Park
is a delightful amusement park featuring some
of the best rides and entertainment in the
area.
