Palo Duro Canyon — Attraction in Clarendon

Awesome place BUT the trail map is terrible. It is not accurate and it doesn’t tell you the difficulty level of the trails.

The campsite we stayed on was beautiful and well shaded, lots of wildlife. Turkeys run everywhere. Rabbits. Overall the park is very beautiful and worth visiting for...

A little bonus was that there was a little shack where you can get a cheap and tasty snow cone in the park... much needed in the heat! They have very friendly staff both at entrance and also inside the Visitor's Center/Gift Shop and they provide you with free maps of the area. Will be going back to explore trails when cooler. Also there were Native American dancing and music demos while we were there. ...
