This beautiful park in the panhandle of Texas, is the second largest canyon in the US. At over 100 miles long and only a 1000 feet deep it's a great setting for camping and hiking.
At the top of the canyon is the visitor center and some very awesome cabins right on the rim. You enter along a step winding road to the canyon bottom for a choice of half a dozen small campgrounds along an 8 mile road.
You're continually surrounded by multicolored canyon walls and many accessible trails winding up the walls or along the Red River.
The textures and colors are hard to capture in the photos so I hope you make this one of your stops when near Amarillo.One of my favorite artists Georgia O'Keefe brought her students here when she taught in Amarillo.
It's hard to leave this place as we finish our adventure and start heading home.

As I write this blog we are only two hours from home, waiting another day so the roads are clear.
