    I can't forget the moment that I first visited Palo Duro Canyon. It was literally amazing.
  • happy to return after a 4 year gap. got hurt and recovery took many years. finally returned today and bought a season pass once again. I was a regular, with 70+ trips. plan on resuming weekly or bi-weekly hikes. might not be able to run throughout the entire trail system like previous years but at least I'm able to hike, which might allow for more fun than blowing through the trails as fast as possible. tons of good memories yet to come. Thank you for the services. palo duro canyon always brings excellent experiences

    I flew to Amarillo on my familiarization pass as a twa employee in 1969....after leaving la Guardia (nyc) I went horseback riding in Palo duro canyon ...wow- it was so beautiful!! What a contrast to the "big apple"

    I've read that here in 1870s' the U.S. army attacked Comanche Indians camp. And now you are enjoying the view.

    The excerpt used in this production is from the film "Ole Texas" shot by Charles Goodnight near Mulberry Creek on the J2 Ranch in 1916. Five of the Kiowa men shown on the old footage is Hunting Horse, Odlepauh, Rainy Mtn. Charley, Kiowa George, and Aunko. They were engaged in a mock Kiowa Sundance and a buffalo hunt.

    I visited Amarillo years back. And didn't know this Canyon existed.
  • @rocknroll7065
    I drove past there on the highway heading towards Austin but I had no idea it was there so I didn't stop. Next time I will.

    Crazy to think 150 years ago there would be millions of buffalo roaming all of that land in Texas
