They say everything is bigger in Texas. That’s true for most things, but not for Canyons. That said, Pali Duro, the second largest canyon in the US is still impressive. Like the Grand Canyon you drive up not seeing much but plains. But suddenly you look down into a vast canyon.

I opted for the most scenic hike; light house trail.

Above on the left is the small lighthouse. The 3 mile hike takes you up to the big one. The trail is easy except maybe the last bit where you have to climb up some rocks.

You see some people to the left of the tower; that’s as far as you can go up, unless you’re a mountaineer.

This is from the other side, after climbing up.

Below, I pose next to the tower.
