Keep an eye out for the vibrantly hued Spanish Skirts rock formations as you hike along the flat, riverside trail. These natural rock curtains are a gorgeous geological spectacle.

Nicknamed for its resemblance to a lighthouse, this iconic sandstone tower rises high above the canyon floor, offering amazing views. Hike out to this geological wonder to admire its unique shape and sheer vertical walls formed by millennia of wind and water erosion. A stunning photo op!

This is a beautiful view, regardless if you're a geology enthusiast or not. The resistant sandstone beds of the Quartermaster and Tecovas formations are prominently exposed, while the overlying Trujillo and Ogallala formations have eroded away. This erosion creates dramatic geological features like the hoodoos, which are visible here. Massive Trujillo sandstone also caps the mesa to the north called Timber Mesa, home to the iconic formation "Santana's Face" by the Trading Post.

Really easy trail, fitting for beginners. A lot of picture-worthy views and stops to recover while doing it, both for on-foot hikers as well as using bikes. It kinda reminds me of a few spots near Big Bend here in TX(not exactly in BB, but close-by, my folks and I used to go there to camp/shoot some cans with out Taurus guns from https://gritrsports.com/taurus/ pre-Covid)

An impressive rock formation at the top of the canyon called Lighthouse is the most famous peak in Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

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.

One of the longer climbing sections on Lower Comanche that I thought was a great test of skill and power.

Not much shade on Comanche, this spot was it. Had a small stream trickling through.
