PALO DURO CANYON. Palo Duro Canyon is the most
spectacular and scenic landscape feature in the Panhandle of Texas. The Spanish name Palo Duro means
"hardwood" and refers to the hardwood shrubs and trees found in the
canyon. Palo Duro Canyon was carved into the eastern Caprock escarpment of
the High Plains during the past ninety million years by the headwaters
of the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River and by attendant weathering. The
head of the canyon lies fifteen miles southeast of Amarillo in Randall County,
and the canyon extends sixty miles southeast through Armstrong County and into
Briscoe County. It reaches depths of 800 feet from rim to floor (approximately
3,500 feet to 2,400 feet above sea level) and average widths of more than six
miles. The steep sides of Palo Duro Canyon consist of bright, banded layers of
orange, red, brown, yellow, grey, maroon, and white rocks that represent four
different geologic periods and a time span of more than 240 million years.
Fossils of long-extinct animals and plants have been found embedded in the rock
layers. Adding to the canyon's scenic grandeur are numerous pinnacles, buttes,
and mesas, each protected by a cap of erosion-resistant sandstone or other
rock. The natural vegetation of the canyon consists of a variety of grasses and
other xerophytic vegetation such as prickly pear, yucca, mesquite, and juniper.
Cottonwood, willow, and salt cedar grow along the banks of Prairie Dog Town
Fork of the Red River.
