About

Palo Duro Canyon, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of Texas," is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the Texas Panhandle near the city of Amarillo. Stretching approximately 120 miles long, 20 miles wide, and up to 800 feet deep, it is the second-largest canyon in the United States. The canyon's striking red rock formations and diverse geological features were shaped over millions of years by water and wind erosion. Visitors to Palo Duro Canyon State Park can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, horseback riding, and mountain biking.
