The Beauty Of Palo Duro Canyon State Park

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" 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, a picnic or stay at the campgrounds or cabins. It is simply spectacular!

Very nice gallery! Palo Duro is like a second home for my wife and me. We first discovered it in 1993 while working at Borger. We have since moved on but return as often as possible.

Beautiful photos. Do you remember when you were at Palo Duro to photograph the fall color? October, November? Thanks! Theresa

Do you remember what month in fall you were at Palo Duro to get the turning of the leaves? Beautiful photos, by the way

Shelley, I just wanted to let you know that I have looked all over the web for photos of Palo Duro that do it justice - I'm a writer using the canyon as a partial setting - and your photos are the absolute best that I've found! Thank you so much for sharing them. I spent several vacations there over the years and I needed photos to take me back. You've done it. Thanks again! Ronni Hoessli

Hi Sahie, What a nice job you have done! Keep up the beauty of nature.

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.
