Canyon is a small yet significant city in Texas and is the county seat of Randall County. With its population just about 13,000 people and a total land area of less than 5 square miles, Canyon is called as the Gateway to Palo Duro Canyon, on account of its proximity to the acclaimed Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which hosts the second largest canyon in the USA.
The city of Canyon has tourists pouring in all year round, not only on account of the easy accessibility to Palo Duro Canyon State Park but also on account of the excellent scenic locations and historic/ cultural experiences offered by the region.
The biggest landmark of Canyon is certainly the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, the largest history museum in Texas State that is home to about 3 million exhibits, depicting the history and heritage of the region. Also, the West Texas A&M University is an institute of repute located in the city. In action since 1966, the Texas Musical Drama hosted in the Pioneer Amphitheatre of Canyon is one of the most popular outdoor musical dramas in the world and attracts thousands of visitors, year on year.
Look forward to comfortable and affordable accommodations and pleasant shopping and dining experiences in the charming city of Canyon.
