Local know-how pays off in Amarillo
Amarillo sits above 3,600 feet on the High Plains, where summer highs run in the low 90s and winter lows drop into the low 20s with snow. Most of the roughly 20 inches of annual rain falls as spring and summer thunderstorms. Steady wind and a wide day-to-night temperature swing push walks to early morning and after sunset in July and August.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs around the winter holidays and spring break when families leave town, and again over summer road-trip season. West Texas A&M in nearby Canyon and Amarillo College follow an academic calendar that adds turnover in August and January, when students and staff need drop-ins and daycare.
