Palo Duro State Park is Southeast of Amarillo, Texas (12 miles East of Canyon, Texas). In this high plain area it is a surprising change. A mini grand canyon of sorts. We just visited for the day but there are lots of campsites some of which have hookups.
We hiked the Lighthouse Trail, a little over 6 miles round trip. The trail is easy with the final ascent to the base of the lighthouse being more steep with a lot of stair steps.
Here is what we hiked to, the Lighthouse. Lou is the small white object on the bottom right of the right picture above.
The view from there is great.
Of course, there are flowers to be seen, even if they are odd and dry.
We enjoyed a very late lunch in the picnic area and filled our water tank. We had visited Flying J yesterday afternoon and taken care of dumping but hate to use the faucets near the dump to fill up. Don't know why? Anyway, we are set to go now.
We hit the road and stopped for the night just across the border in New Mexico.
