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.

Amarillo's natural beauty is all around you when you're in this part of the world, but in order to get the big picture of this area's rustic beauty, make plans to visit the Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This majestic haven occupies more than 20,000 acres in Armstrong and Randall Counties just south of Amarillo. While you're here enjoying the numerous scenic lookout points, you can take advantage of the various activities that are available that include camping, horseback riding, hiking, nature study, bird watching and mountain biking. And whether you're on your way in or out, the scenic drive to the area is nothing short of breathtaking.

Visiting Kwahadi is much more than just a history lesson. The whole family will be drawn into the story of how these first inhabitants of our country were resourceful and creative. See how they survived the North Texas elements to create beautiful art. An extension of that creativity is their custom of dancing as celebration and spiritual homage. Take in the bronze artwork on display by such renowned artists as Thomas E. Mails and Tom Knapp. The Kwahadi Dancers are officially Venture Crew 9 and perform most Friday and Saturday nights. Remember to stop at the gift store to purchase unique art pieces, statues, and other keepsakes.
