As they say “Step into Real Texas.” This city may be a long haul for many Texans, but it is worth the drive and full of all kinds of classic sights that Texans need to see.
Amarillo was built on beef, and the cattle industry is still the lifeblood of town. Yet, it takes more than cows to have a successful ranch, so head to the America Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum to learn about the most popular horse breed in the world and the one that makes ranching happen. In the Hall of Fame, you’ll see both the horses and men that have made a significant impact on the cattle industry.
The decades of the cattle drives gave way to decades of cross-country drives on America’s “mother road” - Route 66 which passed through Amarillo. You can visit some vestiges of this era in the Historic Rte 66 District,
Explore the way folks used to travel in style at The RV Museum. See what used to be the “latest and greatest” of travel technology back in the good old days from silver bullet trailers to epic hippie vans, and take a walk down memory lane.
This is a classic Texas must-see spot. It was built in 1974 by art group “Ant Farm” on billionaire Stanley Marsh’s property, and over the years, it has become a tourist sensation. Stop by Cadillac Ranch to see these awesome rainbow-colored Cadillacs sticking out of the ground, and be sure to bring your spray paint to leave your mark! Be sure to check out the other strange artwork in Amarillo, the “Huge Pair of Legs” (which is exactly what it sounds like…)
If you’re the type that thinks the Panhandle is nothing but flat earth - you are WRONG! And a trip to Palo Duro Canyon State Park is a must. This is officially the second largest canyon in the U.S. There is tons of hiking available, but I recommend a mountain bike ride to the Lighthouse, which is truly one of the most beautiful sights in Texas.
If you can make it to “Amarillo by Morning” then you must stop in at Youngblood’s Stockyards Cafe which serves an amazing breakfast and is attached to Amarillo’s historic stockyards. On Mondays you can even catch a live auction. And if it’s neither Monday nor a morning, you can still get a good burger or a steak.
The other food joint you MUST check out is the Big Texan Steak Ranch, where they give out FREE 72oz steaks - but there’s one small catch - you’ve gotta eat it in one hour, along with a table full of sides. Good luck!

Thank you lord for making Texas such a beautiful place
Let's hope the people moving there don't california Texas.
Yes is is, born and raised proud of my Hometown even no longer living there.
@@stealthbomber2127
🤫 They don't know about Central to west TX heat. Don't worry about East Texas. They won't make it. Austin is the bomb!😁
@@ZoKitchen especially your photo.
Born and raised in Amarillo! It's crazy I came across this video. You can be in and out of Amarillo in about the same length as this video😂😂
Born and raised in Amarillo, left there at age 24 now in Arizona but always proud of my Amarillo roots. Nice people.
As a native of Amarillo, I’m glad you enjoyed your visit! This video summed up the stereotypical things. We also have a thriving arts community, a great dining scene, award winning coffee shops, and lots more to offer! You’re welcome back anytime ❤
😂😂😂. Yep, we're very posh up here.
Which tribe?
Cap, Ive never seen you
I love Amarillo! I was only there for 18 hrs, but I instantly fell in love. Great people there! I’m definitely going back one day.
Big shout out to the Boys Ranch just northwest of Amarillo and the incredible work they do.
I live about an hour from Amarillo and during the school year I travel up there every single day to go to school.
I love this channel, it has the early UA-cam vibe but with today's production quality
You have a french subscriber that now wants to visit Amarillo
Amarillo is Chill 😎
I'm from Amarillo Born and raised us locals don't really do the challenge at big Texan but we love watching it i go every year like 6 times a year sometimes it gets old but i still go
As a native it is always so funny to see everyone's reaction to Amarillo. You either HATE it or LOVE it. There is no in between 🤣
Texas Panhandle is beautiful. You can see for miles. Love it here. ❤
We were stationed at Cannon AFB in the middle of nowhere Clovis, NM...Amarillo and Lubbock were about an hour and a half from where we were at and on the weekends, it'd be like driving into town for us at either location ❤ (love both cities and somehow they both have a small town charm)
Texas is my home country
First time seeing your channel. Loved this video. I live in Amarillo and I needed reminding of some of great things we have here. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for showing Amarillo! My son moved there almost 3 years ago. I am so excited as we will be visiting in September for his wedding
You'll love it. Great town.
@@TheDaytripper thank you it sure looks like it
I love the cinematography you and your team do. The recreational vehicle part was delightful.
The Stockyards Cafe no longer exists apparently.
They changed the name to Youngbloods Cafe
My uncle Jeff Jeffers owned the stockyards cafe back in the day. 50s 60s 70s
Born and raised in Amarillo. Never once have I visited the Cadillac Ranch or the American Quarter Horse Museum. Growing up here the most interesting things were the haunted buildings and stories we all heard about
Dude, you took a short trip from Lubbock to Amarillo. My brother lives in Plans, just west of Lubbock, and I live in the DFW area. I can easily make it to his house in a day. I did grow up in Dalhart, so on weekends, we would go to Amarillo. It took about an hour and a half to get there, but we would spend all day Saturday hanging out and having fun as teenagers.
I love seeing people come to the place ive lived my whole life and love it so much, loved seeing you enjoy the canyon where i practically grew up, the last hike up to the lighthouse is a fun one, way steeper irl you have to use your 4LD or four limb drive 😂
Youngbloods catered our wedding it’s my favorite place
I remember it from when I was pretty dang small I
We got to make a brief road trip stop in Amarillo this Summer. We chose to take a 2 hour trail ride with Cowgirls and Cowboys in the West. It was a wonderful experience. Amarillo and the Palo Duro Canyon are beautiful.
Another fun video, thank you! Also, that's one good looking steak!
You ate more of the steak than I did lmao. Good job!
Even if you can't finish the 72 oz steak dinner it's only $72. I just read an article today about some nice chain steakhouse selling 40 ounce tomahawk steaks for $250.
I grew up @ BR. I call Amarillo my home, although ive been gone close to 40 years. Ive passed through several times and seen some good changes and some sad outcomes of places that never grew.
Live in New Jersey now and work in NYC.
Traitor!
@@alamahony no just went to work and followed the money. Still a Texan at heart.
The Big Texan is always a must-stop and a don't-miss when in Amarillo. You should try the jalapeno creamed corn with those great steaks.
I’m from Tulia, 40 min south of Amarillo
I used to work at Amarill Iron Wors down on 4th stree just down from the AtoZ tire shop back in 1981.
Lol, my mom went on a couple of dates with the owner of that place, was always smoking a big cigar.
Excellente vidéo
West TX own a piece of quater horses, power house money🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🇺🇸Luv yer videos pardner. 🤠
Yo Chet, where’d you get that sweet jacket in the beginning of the video? Love the content both old and new brother! Keep it comin and long live Texas
Keep on tripping.
Funny thing is I live one hour away from Amarillo
And I visit all the time
Driving around Amarillo in a Subaru is like asking to be shot. 😂
Why did you tag 2013 on the Cadillac? Never mind. I read the description 😂
I’ve lived in Amarillo my entire life and this is not the Amarillo that I know 😂
What's the mule deer hunting like there? Any places to fish?
I've never seen your videos before but you summed up Amarillo pretty quick lived here my whole life. You missed some things but they probably wouldn't have been as good in a video. We got a lot more than Route 66 in the Palo Duro Canyon but you did a good job and yes a lot of things at least up here in Amarillo are bigger Boulder Wilder maybe it's because Terrain is so flat yes sir this is God's country and we are very country normally very hospitable also but you did miss all the meth addicts one of the things of our boredom up here in such a flat Terrain but it's become a way of life for us you're either a cowboy or on meth okay we got a really great Hospital too there's lots of nurses in our schools are good also but to sum it up thank you this is a good video I liked it I enjoyed it as a person from here God bless
A lot more than rednecks and meth heads in Amarillo. He did miss a few places like the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum (Biggest in Texas). Unfortunately places like Asarco and the Helium plant along with Amarillo AFB are gone now. And it is not like he can make a video of Pantex. Point is there are more places to see and not everyone on Amarillo is involved in farming and ranching. Just a stereotype. And yes the wind blows and it snows in Texas almost every year. But Amarillo has some of the friendliest people in Texas (and a few soreheads too). A gem most people in the big triangle of Texas know little about. Hopefully this video can help.
I live in Amarillo
*reads title* oh i was from there, guessing a rating of 1
If no one has said it yet, Stanley marsh was a big time creep. I went to school with one of his victims and I always felt real bad for the dude. He was a good guy that didn’t deserve what happened to him.
I know right if they only knew who he really was
Chew.Swallow 😆😆😆
Bro you from Texas. Can you finish the plates? Not the challenges.
I’m like 45 min away from rillo n if u don’t see cowboys you will fs see sum else
Watching this dude pretend to enjoy Amarillo 😂
I live here and listen to rearview town from Jason Aldean and Imagine finally leaving! Not because I hate Amarillo but I'm sick of running into people I don't want to see
Come to dimmitt lol
finished it in 8 minutes, that cant be good for ur health doing that
This guys hat is just making him look more like an outsider..if he thinks he’s blending..he’s wrong.
lol so true! Native Amarilloan here and truly most people walking around here on the daily don’t sport cowboy hats and cowboy boots!
Maybe ...but they SHOULD !!
My whole family wears cowboy boots ❤
Didn’t even go to bomb city
Mera Desh ki Usa Valley Forge Freedom Ranches😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Can i say that living in Amarillo that they closed the stockyards he's going into has been closed for 2 years now that this is fake and staged. cuz i live down the street they blocked it of with bridge parts
As a native of Amarillo I’m sorry you decided to come to this hell hole
Please stop vandalizing the rode at Cadillac ranch keep it at the Cadillacs please its horrible now
great video, but get rid of that stupid Margaritaville hat
Saying Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the U.S. is like saying Kim Kardashian is the the second most famous person in the U.S.
Amarillo, TX crime analytics
With a crime rate of 42 per one thousand residents, Amarillo has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 24.
Can't stand a fake cowboy hats. My man, you were laughed at after you left.
WHEN I GET BACK TO TEXAS I'M GONNA TRY THAT CHALLENGE I MAY NOT FINISH IT IN 8MIN BUT I KNOW I CAN FINISH IT IN AT LEAST LESS THAN AN HOUR 😁🤙🏽
You have to eat the whole DINNER! It's the 72 oz steak plus salad, baked potato, roll, shrimp cocktail...what am I leaving out?
