I did not expect much from this area just outside of Amarillo. I knew trails were few with the website boasting over 7 miles of trails. (I hike lots of trails where I have to camp out due to distance). I arrived to see 3 school busses, and I debated leaving. Instead, I looked for the trailhead with few boot prints and headed out. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the trails were groomed and how beautifully green the surroundings were. (God's doing in the green part, not the park employees) I didn't meet a soul along the way! I was only out for about an hour, but I'll be back for sure!

Thought would just be flat and boring trails but some neat things (like bluffs where they talked about the age) and some historic items along the way. Some light hills – which was nice for running.

Enjoyed our hike! Good workout, but not too long. Being so close to the cows was neat, albeit a bit scary

I love it here so much, however , the cow that followed me here kinda seems like a safety hazard, they could attack maybe idk. I found a dead skunk here once which was pretty cool to see it in rigormortis & all the cute tadpoles in the water too! , I love the outdoors,nature,science, & wildlife

Wildcat Butte is located on the northwest side of Amarillo on the beltway that loops around the city. The center charges a small fee (adults $4) for admission and has free parking. There are three short hikes across the prairie to an overlook, passing by a working windmill that supplies water to the wildlife. We did not see any animals other than birds but occasional droppings on the trails indicated either buffalo or cows are around. A paved nature trail with nature-related displays is also present. A small welcome center has a restroom, a few displays, and two very friendly cats. Another building is on-site with restroom facilities, but was not open on the morning we visited (I suspect this building is available for groups). This is not an exciting attraction but a nice place to stop for a hike and to experience the West Texas landscape.
