My wife and I are thinking of flying out to Palo Duro Canyon at Amarillo, TX. Anyone been there or live there that could give me some ideas on what to see/do and where would be the best place for lodging. Also is the main airport in Amarillo the desired airport to fly in to?

Don't miss the play Texas in the evening. Great event and make sure you get their dinner too.
Lots of hiking in the area too.
If you want to fly ~1hr west, you can reach the mountains of northern New Mexico. Red River is one of our favorite places.

Wayne,
I've never used the AMA airport, so can't comment on it. Nearby and
cheaper fuel is the Tradewinds airport, which I have used probably a
dozen times. Tradewinds is closer to the hotels lining I-10, so you can
pick whatever flavor you prefer. There is ground reception with approach
control/clearance del at Tradewinds, so Class C clearance is no problem.
At the time I was flying by there, one or more of the hotels would pick
you up, as they are less than 2 mi away.

Wayne,
My wife and I went there on our circle tour of the west last year. We used KAMA because the rental cars at Tradewinds airport were ridiculous. TacAir at KAMA did a great job and shuttled us over to the terminal for the rental. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Canyon, the Best Western was full of firefighters. These are the closest hotels to the park. Buffalo's has good food.
Palo Duro Canyon was very interesting. We hiked to the Lighthouses, 85 when we started, 105 when we finished. Take at least three quarts of water per person as the dry air will dehydrate you quickly. The burgers at the park concession are from the local longhorn steers and are awesome.
