Palo Duro Canyon

On our way home from NM, we took a small detour around Amarillo--and went to the Texas state park of Palo Duro Canyon. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!









The pictures explain themselves....and, no, we were not dressed for hiking the canyon--flip flops do NOT work well! We had fun anyways....and are planning on going back for a real camping trip sometime soon.
This next pic is the kids in front of a replication of a dugout house that a settler made in the canyon a long time ago. Crazy to think that someone would live in something like that!


It was a nice way to expend some energy on our 9 hour drive home. It put us in really late, but it was worth it! We are looking forward to our camping trip to the canyon!

I love to go to out of the way places. Were there any snakes?

We didn't see any snakes....and there's a really cool amphitheater down in the canyon where they do plays in the summertime. Pretty cool!

We have family near Amarillo, we might have to plan a visit to the canyon when we're visiting them sometime! Looks like a great trip!

Yes, there are snakes,I have seen them. When you come for your camping trip, holler at us. We will come sit for a while there with you or whatever!
