The Texas Panhandle Plains Region
covers the area of Texas that
supposedly looks like a panhandle, that being the rectangle shaped
northernmost part of Texas, between New Mexico and Oklahoma. The
Panhandle Plains Regions extends east almost to Fort Worth and south
to Interstate 20.
The stars at night shine very bright, the brightest in Texas, under the clear skies of the Texas Panhandle. The Panhandle's north end begins at the Oklahoma border, going south to San Angelo. The Panhandle ends in the west at the New Mexico border, with the eastern part of the Panhandle ending a Wichita Falls and Brownwood. The Big Cities in the Panhandle are Amarillo, Abilene, Wichita Falls, San Angelo and Lubbock. You can drive a stretch of Route 66 through the Texas Panhandle, including passing through Amarillo. Near Amarillo you'll find the town of Canyon and Palo Duro Canyon State Park, a great mountain biking, hiking and camping mecca. |
