If you want to see the historic Palo Duro Canyon the way the cowboys did hundreds of years ago, then the Old West Stables of Amarillo can make that a reality for you. They offer trail rides and guided tours on horseback that will give you a truly unforgettable perspective of one of the state's most impressive natural wonders. And since you'll be riding through on horseback, you'll get to take in every detail of what is often referred to as "The Grand Canyon of Texas."

While you're sitting and sipping your drink at the Old Santa Fe Lounge, you'll feel like you're in some modern-day Hollywood movie. The modern yet dimly-lit ambiance and furnishings will allow you to not only relax and forget your hectic workweek, but it will transport you to another time and place. You'll forget you're in Amarillo when you look around and see the perfectly groomed waitstaff and equally alluring crowd that frequents the Santa Fe. All that's missing from this gem on the nightlife scene is you.
