A CANYON FOR A STAGE

Watch the history of the Texas panhandle come to life on an open-air stage that also happens to be the nation's second-largest canyon (in Palo Duro Canyon State Park near Amarillo). The musical drama Texas showcases the struggles, strengths and celebrations of the Panhandle's Native Americans, early settlers and cowboys. Live animals, fireworks and 150 actors make Pulitzer-winning writer Paul Green's outdoor drama a unique way to learn more about Texas heritage.
