Palo Duro Canyon is absolutely beautiful!

5/5 - Excellent

This is an amazingly beautiful place. Please make sure that you zipline across a portion of the canyon on the way in. Be aware that the line into the canyon may be long, but the wait is worth it. The trails are necessary, so bring comfortable shoes and water. The drive around the bottom of the canyon is breathtaking. Spend at least a day here, if not more.
