Palo Duro Canyon is not surrounded by mountains–the rim of this canyon is at the same level as the flat countryside of the Texas Panhandle.
The entrance to Texas’ second-largest state park is located at the northern tip of this 120-mile-long and 800-foot-deep canyon, the second-largest canyon in the United States. Palo Duro (Spanish for hard wood–the local junipers) gets deeper and wider as it winds to the southeast. It stretches twenty miles wide and gets deeper toward the southern end of the canyon. For a million years, this canyon has been working its way northward. |
