I’ve been looking for a reason to plan to another trip to Palo Duro Canyon and the 4WD sections has peaked my interest. What map(s) were you using when you found it?

In reply to J Ramos. Thanks! That's on my list as well. This job thing gets in the way. ;)

Next time you feel the urge, drive around the block (it’s a big block) and check out Caprock Canyon just to the south of Palo Duro. Much more private and a good long backcountry loop which is an easy overnight or a full day’s hike. It’s a dry county so byob and keep it under wraps in the park itself. Palo Duro is a beautiful place but I suspect you’d enjoy Caprock more. Oodles of cactus and loose soil so it’s tough to scramble off trail or find a tent spot but both are possible.

Sorry you had to cut the trip short, but of course it is winter. . . . Beautiful photos, thank you!
