Before we started planning this trip, I had no idea that the second largest canyon in the US was just south of Amarillo in another stunning CCC-era state park. The park is indescribably beautiful and we were lucky to have reserved far in advance because it was 100% booked by the time we rolled up yesterday. We camped all the way at the bottom of the canyon, where you can see the colorful “Spanish Skirt” rock formations up close. Palo Duro is also a dark sky destination, so we stayed up a bit later to stargaze. After a bit of a slow morning today, we went on a small hike, ziplined a quarter-mile stretch across the canyon and hit the road for New Mexico!
And…zip lining!
