Amarillo is the largest city in the Texas Panhandle with a population of over a quarter-million people. Situated along the famed Route 66, Amarillo is a city where you can visit Cadillac Ranch, hike Palo Duro State Park (the second largest canyon system in the US after the Grand Canyon), and enjoy a 72 oz steak for free at The Big Tex Steakhouse (provided you can finish it in the time allowed). Amarillo enjoys a climate with all four seasons and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. Popular destinations such as Sante Fe and Taos NM, Durango, CO, and Oklahoma City OK are all within easy driving distance. The city is large enough to provide excellent occupational and educational opportunities, yet small enough to provide the laid-back lifestyle West Texas is famous for.
