Amarillo is a conservative Panhandle city known for its Western heritage, cattle industry, and proximity to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The pace of life is slower, the cost of living is very low, and the community is tight-knit, though the city is quite car-dependent and offers fewer urban amenities than larger Texas metros.
Palo Duro Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the US, is just 30 minutes south and is spectacular for hiking and camping. Cadillac Ranch, the famous art installation on Route 66, and the PALO DURO CANYON outdoor musical are also major draws.
Healthcare is the dominant industry, led by Baptist St. Anthony's and Northwest Texas Hospital. The Texas Panhandle's agricultural and cattle industries, along with natural gas and petroleum production, provide additional employment. Amarillo also serves as a regional retail and services hub.
Amarillo winters can be harsh, with occasional blizzards, ice storms, and bone-chilling winds sweeping across the flat plains. The Texas Panhandle is known for extreme weather swings, and temperatures can drop dramatically overnight. Summers are hot and dry with frequent thunderstorms.
