Gateway to Palo Duro Canyon State Park , home to the outdoor musical drama TEXAS, West Texas A&M University, 24 historical sites and the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum which is the oldest and largest museum in the Lone Star State, Canyon has captivated the hearts and imaginations of visitors from around the world.
Located on Interstate 27, just 15 minutes south of Amarillo, Canyon is a bustling community that has successfully combined a progressive attitude with small town friendliness and charm.
Nestled in the middle of the Texas Panhandle, Canyon claims a rich history based in cattle and ranching, and a heritage rooted in the pioneer spirit of the West.
A temperate climate with more than 250 days of sunshine annually, a low crime rate and excellent education facilities all contribute to making Canyon a great place to hang your hat for an afternoon or a lifetime.
