Historic Route 66

Route 66 was the first highway to connect the east and west coasts of the United States and represented more than just a way to get from point A to point B. Route 66 represented the hopes and dreams of a generation. Take in this living part of American history by visiting some of the diners and coffee shop still in operation today along historic Route 66.

The Big Texan Steak Ranch

Texas and Steak, few things go together quite as well. No trip to Texas is complete without partaking of wonderful, seared cut of beef that the Lone Star State is best known for. What better place to dig into a pink in the middle prime cut than at Amarillo’s Big Texan Steak Ranch? If you’re hungry enough you can always tie on the old feedbag and tear into their 72 ounce steak dinner!

Panhandle Plains Historical Museum

The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum is home to more than 3 million exhibits, enough to keep you occupied all day long. Locals like to call it the “Smithsonian with a Texas accent.” Spend the day here and you won’t be disappointed.
