Ten Cadillacs from different model years stand half-buried at an angle in a farm field west of Amarillo. Visitors have been covering them in layers of spray paint since the 1970s, so the colours change by the week. Bring a can or pick up a dropped one from the ground.

Good to know

  • Bring your own spray paint; there is always a pile of empty cans to avoid stepping on
  • Wear boots, the field gets muddy after rain
  • Come at sunrise or sunset for the best light
