Immortalized in Bruce Springsteen's song of the same name, Amarillo Cadillac Ranch is a visually arresting attraction that has real Cadillacs seemingly growing out of the Texas soil. Located just outside of town, 12 miles to the west on I-40, the site is the creation of Stanley Marsh 3, a land and broadcasting mogul and easily one of Amarillo's more powerful figures. Marsh's eccentricity and taste of the unusual, as well as his love for Cadillacs, fueled his ambition to create this memorable attraction and photo opportunity on the North Texas skyline.

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."
