How to Get to Pampa from Amarillo

Pampa is 55 miles from Amarillo and takes a little less than an hour to get there, depending on how fast you drive.

Pampa is bringing a new twist to the 4th of July, and it is not something you see every day.  It's fireworks in the middle of the day, and it's a cool way to celebrate America's birthday in the Texas Panhandle. This 4th of July road trip will be worth it.
