Is it the first time you have visited Amarillo Texas? One of the many reasons to visit a new place is to spend sometime doing something that you wouldn’t normally do in your own town. While in Amarillo get out and spend some time doing things the way the forefathers of the area did. This was land that was hard won by some real tough cowboys. If you don’t live in a cowboy state you may want to experiences a small part of what the cowboy life was all about. One of the ways to be a cowboy for the day is to get on horseback at the Old West Stables in Palo Duro Canyon State Park . The Native Americans and Cowboys have been riding horses in this canyon for hundreds of years and now it is your turn. While on your adventure you can learn about the famous Colonels of the U.S. Calvary who rode horses on some of the same trails. This is a great way to get out into the local landscape and enjoy the high desert views. You can get directions from your hotel. Amarillo is only twenty seven miles northwest of the canyon so it will be a day outing.  

If you are in town during the summer you may want a day to cool off a bit. One of the hot spots in town to get a thrill and a cool down is at Splash Amarillo+http://www.splashamarillo.com/ . Especially if you have the kids with you on a summer vacation. This will be a must stop for keeping them entertained. This water park has water slides and a large wave pool. Parents with little kids will find a special place to watch them play. The older kids may find a break from the water at the arcade. There snack bar is always full of enough food to keep the whole family going for a nice long day out in the sun.  

No matter what adventure you choose bring lots of sunscreen and drink lots of water.
