Palo Duro Canyon's Rock Garden Trail is one of 30 hiking trails in the Palo Duro Canyon and one of Palo Duro's most challenging and strenuous, but most scenic hikes. The five-mile round-trip hike features a rigorous incline, taking hikers from the floor of the canyon to the rim with an elevation of over 600 feet in under 2.5 miles. Due to the difficulty of the hike, the Rock Garden trail is sparsely populated but well worth the effort of making through the oscillating inclines and declines that make their way through the rockiest part of the eponymous path for the breathtaking views over the canyon at the top.
