Located thirty minutes from downtown Amarillo, in the northernmost part of the state, you will find Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Honestly, it’s surprising that the Palo Duro Canyon isn’t considered a national park – it is the Grand Canyon of Texas after all. Throughout the years, I have had the chance to visit this magnificent park. All images below were taken at Palo Duro Canyon State Park or near the town of Amarillo, TX.
