Nothing defines the beauty and grandeur of the Texas plains and canyons more than the famous Spanish Skirts seen from the canyon wall just a few miles into Palo Duro Canyon State Park. These colorful sculptures of nature are one of the first landmarks a visitor sees upon entering the park and they’re the last they see when they depart.
Folks from all over the globe remember their first view of these incredible colors and shapes and unlike the Haynes Ridge in Caprock Canyons, you can drive right up to this view and take as many pictures as you want without so much as breaking a sweat.
