I really liked the stage show “Texas”, which is held in a natural amphitheater, and is truly impressive and professional, don’t miss it, as you won’t find anything better even on Broadway!
Best bike ride park around! Level rides for intermediate riders that has lots of different aspects. Cornering, rocks, climbs, ledges and just a lot of fun miles. There is also some more serious riding for more advanced riders that includes a lot of climbing, switchbacks and a really cool ride along the top of the canyon if you like serious climbs. The payoff is great view and serious downhill ride!
Beautiful and scenic a hidden (literally) gem in the Texas panhandle. Who knew? That right here in flat Texas we have the second largest canyon in the US??? Well, it’s not as big as the Grand Canyon, but being able to drive through it makes it a real treat! Great adventure for kids and adults alike, with some breath taking vistas. There are, I believe, over 60 miles of canyon, some of which are over 800 feet tall, so it really is impressive.
You can camp, or hotel it, get up early and enjoy a cowboy breakfast and singalong, or take off road vehicles deep into the canyon, with knowledgeable guides, or ride horses through the canyon trails. All of which is worth doing, especially if you want to create an unforgettable vacation experience with kids; guaranteed they won’t forget!
Spectacular scenery and a mellow vibe. Feels like a piece of New Mexico in Texas. Interesting little gift shop/museum that is a "must stop". Cool air conditioned cabins and campsite rentals available. Highly recommend you see it. Nearby Canyon and Amarillo offer lots to do while out there.
My wife and I visited Palo Duro Canyon State Park on September, 2017. We participated on the Six Pack Series Capital Peak Classic Mountain Bike Race the first day and hiked the remainder of the week. The place is stunning and full of surprises if you venture out. Bring a lot of water with you, the heat is pretty intense as there is minimal tree cover. There was an issue with water quality during our visit so that made the stay a little bit challenging but fun (it's outdoor camping, so you figure things out). This was my very first time ever that I was able to see the Milky Way with my eyes, the night sky is so beautiful and then we were also surprised with the brightest moonlight I've ever encountered and a wake up call from a pack of Coyotes. Long drive from Houston but it was worth it.
Happy Travels!
This is a great park to visit if you're in the area. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the sites. The roads are well maintained and the drive into and out of the canyon was effortless. We stopped at some of theany trail heads there and they all had plenty of parking.
