The Palo Duro Canyon Overlook features an impressive view from the canyon’s rim. Note the junipers struggling to survive on the rocky cliffs. The park is named for their struggle, Palo Duro, meaning “Hard Wood” in Spanish. The trickle of the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River below may seem an unlikely force to create such a grand canyon, however, past flooding and great rains contributed to the erosion. Learn more in the Visitor Center which also features a Museum.
