Holidaying In Palo Duro Canyon; My Kind of Social Distancing A sunrise view from Dove Rest Cabins' Durango cabin on a late fall morning in early December The Perfect Escape Is Only Six Hours From Dallas It was simple, all I had to do was get behind the wheel and drive six hours from Dallas to the Amarillo area. Yes, THAT Amarillo. Home to Route 66, 72-ounce steaks, the Cadillac cemetery and a nearby canyon that is as breathtaking as it is foolhardy to think you can do anything but take it in piece by piece. I was headed to Palo Duro Canyon Doves Rest Cabins. Would this be the perfect holiday destination since it looks like social distancing is going to be a holiday staple too – yep, would it ever.
