Palo Duro Canyon State Park

025
   We visited this park hoping that some of the trails would be a little accessible but they all are narrow with a deep rut in the middle. The handicapped sites, however, are very good. There are three newly built sites in the Sagebrush Campground. They have a large paved area for a RV and another vehicle and pavement to an accessible table, grill, and fire pit. The paving also extends to the water and electrical hookups and to the restrooms.

  The terrain of the canyon is quite different from the surrounding Texas plains so even though there aren’t many accessible activities, the scenic drive along the canyon road is nice. The road down to the canyon is very steep-be prepared to downshift. The small visitor’s center is accessible but the road to the parking area is so steep that the rangers recommend parking in the lot above and walking down. A van should be fine but large RVs shouldn’t attempt it.  Palo Duro Canyon
