April 11,2010 Grand Canyon Of Texas

Today we went to Palo Duro Canyon ,Texas’ second largest state park. Palo Duro Canyon is 120 miles long and 800 feet deep,and second largest canyon in the U.S.The canyon is full of wildlife,hiking trails,bike trails and has camping. In 1874 during the Red River Wars Col. Mackenzie was sent to remove the Native Americans and take them to Oklahoma.During this time the 4th Calvary was able to capture over 1400 horses belonging to the tribes. Later with no transportation the tribes surrendered.The canyon was nice,but we would have enjoyed it better if we had our bikes.Here are some of the pictures I took.
