We are driving there and my husband and kids are sceptacle that on the last leg of our trip back from Colorado the flat baron land before them has anything to see. Yet low and behold all of the sudden a massive beautiful canyon that seems endless appears. Great hiking, nature, and sights. Totally recommend!!

This is definitely a must see if you're driving in the area. The place comes out of nowhere you're in the middle of flat land Texas more or less when you come across is beautiful looking Canyon would definitely take the time to go see

This is a great place to visit, there are so many things to do while you are there and it is one of the most beautiful places in Texas. They have amazing scenery with great places to hike or just drive around taking in the natural beauty. They have many bike and horse trails also to enjoy. Stop at the scenic outlook on top for a great view. The lighthouse trail is an amazing hike or bike ride, it is the formation in the picture for this attraction. Take plenty of water and plan on at least half a day for the hike, you will be glad you did. Bring your camera, there are so many thing to shoot.

Well worth the 10 minute drive from Canyon to visit. The colors in the canyon are extraordinary, and if you are not up to a hike, you can drive through to enjoy the spectacular scenery. I would recommend this attraction to anyone.

While travelling across country we had some car trouble in Amarillo, TX. The fine folks at Brown Subaru gave us a loaner car and recommended that we drive on over to Palo Duro Canyon. Who knew there was another canyon in the US other than the Grand??? What a pleasant surprise and what a great distraction from our car troubles. Absolutely breath taking. Visitor center employees were very friendly and informative and we walked away with treasures and one more part of America explored.

This is a site not to be missed. A beautiful site to see. You can bribe down into the canyon, bring hiking shoes water, and a picnic lunch. Your camera is a must, although I am not sure you will be able to capture the beauty you will see

First off, this park is unique from many of the other parks in Texas all that make is an overall great park. Some things that make it great: dogs are allowed, several mountain bike trails, back-country camping, and several rivers you can drive across along the main road. This park offers some great desert landscapes although I would not say as great as Big Bend National park, nor is it as nice as some other parks in New Mexico. Another downside is it is so far away for most people. Overall, I gave this park a 4 out of 5 stars, so if you have dogs or if you want to mountain bike this should be a high priority, however, I would rather go to Big Bend. BTW we spend Thanksgiving out here and while the nights did get cold, the day temps were perfect.

I think we were fortunate to explore this canyon in February...I imagine it gets smokin' hot during the summer. We spent two nights in one of the canyon floor stone cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) in the early 1930's; private, fun, rustic and a slice of history. Enjoyed our sunset fire and the evening quietude of the canyon. However, I agree with a previous post...there is a brightly lit telephone type pole that somewhat spoils the night sky. As for exploring the canyon...there are a plethora of well maintained trails throughout the park of varying length that are mostly easy to slightly moderate. We would have liked to have our mountain bikes there as you could easily cover a lot of ground on wheels. Coming from the Pacific Northwest and currently living in Okalohoma, for me, this was a sweet geographical reprieve in the midst of the flat panhandle.

Can't wait to bring the family. So worth the drive. Nicer than I could of imagined. Clean trails. Great staff except for the trading post cashier. He looked like he hated his job.

Hiking is a ton of fun, we went after it rained and it made some of the trails nearly unclimable. 2nd biggest canyon is worth it
