Today, only the frames of the Caddies are left, and there are decades of spray paint on the cars. Eventually, the creators encouraged the graffiti as a way to let others express themselves and have fun doing it. People traveled from all over the world to see these Caddies, and many started to deface them for souvenirs, while others put graffiti on them in order to leave their marks. Best of all its totally FREE!īuilt in 1974, 10 Cadillacs were buried ½ deep on the property of a local Amarillo Millionaire.
This is such a cool idea, and quite a sight to see. I finally decided to make a stop to check it out. I have passed by the Cadillac Ranch installation for many years on my trips in/out of Texas. They do have gift shops with snacks and beverages but to avoid waiting in line you might as well pack your own. We went during spring break and shuttles to take us back to our car after long day of hiking took about 1.5 hours which we knew going in but a lot of people waiting in line were getting uneasy and rude to each other. Plan for shuttles to take long during peak times. Would be a good idea to take hiking boots with spikes if going during winter and early March. Went during March and there was still compacter ice on one of the trails to the point where we had to turn back and take a different trail down. Would recommend planning on camping if you want to make it to the bottom since the hike can get pretty tiresome for those not used to steep declines on the way down and incline on the way up. You will have to come out and see for yourself how grand it really is. Pictures truly don't do this place any justice. Before coming here I thought Grand Canyon was all hype.
