Amarillo, TX

We arrived in Amarillo, TX on Saturday, April 27.  On Sunday we went to the Visitor's Center and learned about the "Grand Canyon" of Texas.    The Palo Duro Canyon is 120 miles long and 800 feet deep and is the second largest canyon in the United States.   It was formed less than 1 million years ago when the Red River carved its way through the plains.  We spent several hours driving through the canyon and doing some hiking.   It was a nice way to spend the afternoon.

On Monday we enjoyed a tour of the RV Museum in the morning and in the afternoon we drove Historic Route 66 and enjoyed the beautiful houses along the route that were built in the 1900's.   Unfortunately, none of them were open for touring.
