Description
Photo taken of Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This is a canyon system of the Caprock Escarpment located in the Texas Panhandle near the city of Amarillo, Texas, United States. As the second largest canyon in the United States, it is roughly 60 mi long and has an average width of 6 mi but reaches a width of 20 mi at places. Its depth is around 820 ft . Palo Duro Canyon (from the Spanish meaning "hard wood") has been named "The Grand Canyon of Texas" both for its size and for its dramatic geological features, including the multicolored layers of rock and steep mesa walls similar to those in the Grand Canyon.
