What Lifts You Mural
You can find one of the town’s most famous photo ops in The Gulch neighborhood—a pair of intricate white lace wings against a black wall. There's usually a line, so go early in the morning or late in the day for fewer crowds. Try to find the easter eggs that the artist put into the mural: a cowboy hat, guitars, and barbecues to represent Nashville. Explore other street art in Nashville on a mural art tour—you'll see lots of other great sights, with plenty of time for photo ops.

OVERVIEW
Get ready for an adventurous road trip that will take you across vast landscapes, through vibrant cities, and into the heart of the American spirit. Starting from the bustling streets of New York City, we'll embark on an epic journey that spans thousands of miles westward. Our destination: the iconic city of Amarillo, nestled on the high plains of Texas. Along the way, we'll encounter a kaleidoscope of cultures, witness breathtaking natural wonders, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
As we leave the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan behind, we'll traverse the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, where historic towns and picturesque Amish communities await discovery. The vibrant metropolises of Cleveland and Chicago will offer a glimpse into the industrial heartland of America, while the vast farmlands of Iowa and Nebraska will showcase the nation's agricultural heritage. As we approach the Great Plains, the landscape will transform into endless horizons and wide-open skies.
Finally, we'll arrive in Amarillo, the gateway to the American Southwest. This vibrant city offers a unique blend of Western charm and modern amenities. Whether you're a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking a slice of Americana, Amarillo has something for everyone. From exploring Cadillac Ranch and the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame to witnessing the breathtaking Palo Duro Canyon, the adventures that await you in this iconic city will leave an unforgettable mark on your soul.
