    Tips

    Palo Duro Canyon is a canyon in the Texas Panhandle in Texas between Amarillo and Lubbock.

    It is the second largest canyon in the United States. It is about 193 kilometers long and has an average width of 10 kilometers, increasing to 37 kilometers in some places. The maximum depth is 244 meters. Palo Duro Canyon is also known as the Grand Canyon of Texas because of its size and impressive geological features, including multicolored rock layers.

    The canyon was formed by the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River, which meanders through West Texas' relatively shallow Caprock Gorge. The canyon's geological formations, including caves and pinnacles, have been formed by water and wind erosion over thousands of years.
