Panhandle is the northernmost part of Texas. Deep canyons carved by rivers bound the region. Outdoor adventurers can discover the rugged beauty of the second-largest canyon in the country, Palo Duro Canyon. Whether it’s hiking or glamping, this canyon system has an answer to what you want. If you are more of a road tripper, hitting the roads at pancake-flat Route 66 is the perfect activity for you! Drop by some famous landmarks as you drive around, such as Devil’s Rope Museum and Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo. Both these landmarks are about an hour’s drive from Panhandle. If you’re a tourist seeking a unique stay surrounded by green fields, consider staying on a working farm. Read on to learn about our picks of the best ranches to stay near Panhandle, Texas.

1. El Capitan, Canyon (from USD 125)
Once a streamlined passenger train, El Capitan was transformed into a delightful lodging peacefully sitting on a sprawling horse pasture. Outside the remodeled home is a slightly elevated patio with Adirondack chairs for lounging and admiring the nature scenes on long afternoons.
You can bring your beloved four-legged companion and let them run and play on the lush grounds. Three friendly dogs live on-site, so your fur baby will never feel alone. Petting horses and donkeys are also allowed if they come up the fence.
