Review & FAQ:
Palo Duro Canyon State Park protects the United States' second-longest canyon, known as the "Grand Canyon of Texas" for its massive size and unique geological features. The lovely canyon system, which is located within the Texas Panhandle's Caprock Escarpment near the cities of Canyon and Amarillo, stretches for more than 120 miles and reaches a maximum width of 20 miles at its widest points. Its stunning multicolored rock layers are similar to the rock layers of the Grand Canyon, making for amazing nature photography opportunities. Each summer, the park presents the annual outdoor musical drama Texas, dedicated to the state's history and culture. Couples looking to explore the park on a budget can stay at their choice of electric hookup, equestrian, or backcountry campsites or rent one of the park's lovely canyon rim or floor cabins.
