Palo Duro Canyon State Park

We stayed one night, shot some great pictures at sunrise - especially the few we caught of goats leaping from cliff-to-cliff at the top of the canyon. What a treasure!

This is officially the second largest canyon in the U.S. Tons of hiking available, but I recommend a mountain bike ride to the Lighthouse , which is truly one of the most beautiful sights in Texas .

Don't miss the show "Texas " it's a first rate production. But don't go early, and bring lots of water. They sell it there but you'll need cash if you don't want to walk to the concession stand

The 2nd largest canyon in the U.S. Beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife . Wear a camelback to stay hydrated and hike the Lighthouse Trail !

This place is beautiful, awesome, gigantic and you can do pretty much a lot of different things in different days. Worth the visit!

See Texas ! One of the greatest theatrical shows I've seen ever, the setting within the canyon is surreal.

Hike the GSL trail to the lighthouse . Also take rock garden trail to fortress rim spur. This park is a true gem.

Who knew such an immensely beautiful place this close to Amarillo? If in the area it's a must see.

It's an absolutely amazing place and even though I hate the drive in and out of the canyon, it's totally worth it. I love it

The new Rock Garden Trail comes highly recommended. Lots of photo ops and a fun trek. Enjoy!

This is one of Texas ' lesser known gems gems. If you're an outdoors person, this state park must be added to the bucket list.

At the very first scenic overlook at the visitors center parking areas follow the trail to the bottom and explore the old cabin .

The second largest canyon in America, behind only the Grand Canyon. Palo Duro’s long, steep hill climbs provide twisty challenges. Also a popular location for adventure films .

This is the second largest canyon in the U.S. — 120 miles long and up to 800 feet deep — and boasts magnificent rock formations.Great rock-climbing for the kids.

On a warm, sunny afternoon, grab a teent, sleeping bag (a friend is optional), enter the park and drive to the end of the road (where the Horse pens are), park , follow the stream bed about 1/2 of a mi

Scenery and hiking !

Beautiful park . Second largest Canyon in the US. Make sure to bring plenty of water, as it tends get hot. :)
