Palo Duro Canyon
State Park in Canyon, TX.
We spent some family time/field trip to a really neat canyon
not that far from where we are staying at here in Texas.
Found a cave and walked to it, what a climb that was,
and then we took a dried up creek bed back down.
Came across a tarantula on the road so the boys just
had to get a better look...yes, my son touched it!
Found a neat house called the "Cowboy Dugout"
on the side of a hill, and some pretty flowers.
Walked some trails and found many animal tracks
a dried up waterfall and a really neat "log boat".
This place had me in "AWE", the Indians were smart to live in this
beautiful canyon, not only for the sight, but it was 10* warmer.
You're right, Palo Duro Canyon is such an awesome place to visit. We like to go down there in the summer for the Texas play they put on. Looks like y'all had a great time. You have some brave boys. I would have been scared to get near that ugly spider. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha my husband would agree over the spider. :-)
DeletePalo Duro Canyon is a favorite of ours as well. We went and saw it after we say the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was so big that it was overwhelming. This Canyone was more breath taking and prettier in my opinion, simply because you can take in its beauty.
ReplyDeleteAnd everyone has said the Palo Dura wasn't any fun if you have been to the Grand Canyon .....nice to know they just might be wrong! :-) We have gone twice now and it was exciting each time.
DeleteTexas is so beautiful!! The tarantula totally freaks me out though. =)
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit scary, but it didn't jump at us like we thought they did, one of my sons was able to touch it...
