The Beauty Of Palo Duro Canyon Gallery

Palo Duro Canyon is a beautiful state park near Amarillo, Texas. The canyon is often nicknamed the Grand Canyon of Texas! It surprises visitors, as their is no sign of the canyon at all until about 1/2 of a mile from it. Suddenly a huge gap appears in the flat plain. The Canyon opens up the ground and you travel DOWN to get in it. Its a very popular place for tourists, campers, picnickers, photographers, backpackers, RV-ers, hikers, horse riders and cyclers. In the summertime, the outdoor drama "Texas Legacies" draws visitors from all over the world. The official website for Palo Duro Canyon is: http://www.palodurocanyon.com/ Palo Duro Canyon at Texas Parks and Wildlife: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/paloduro/ No matter where you live, a visit to Palo Duro Canyon is worth the drive! It is simply spectacular!

Hi Sahie,

Bravo! One of my favorite places in Texas. I worked in Amarillo 26 years ago and often escaped or camped in the canyon!

I loved it in snow and in warm weather!!!!

You DO it justice!

Makes me soooo homesick. I was born in Amarillo and lived there until I was a teenager. I would love to go back. There is no country or sense of welcome anywhere. Thanks for showing me a little bit of home. Palo Duro Canyon is just exactly like I remembered it.
