Palo Duro Canyon - Hiking the Lighthouse Trail & More!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- Palo Duro Canyon State Park is the second largest canyon in the United States behind the Grand Canyon and is also known as the Grand Canyon of Texas! Located near Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle, it features dozens of trails for hiking, biking, mountain biking and horse riding and has multiple tent and RV campgrounds - it even has a campground to bring your own horses! Some of the more popular hiking trails in the park are the Lighthouse trail, the CCC trail and the Rock Garden trail. There are also other cool spots to check out such as the Big Cave and an old cowboy dugout.
Special thanks to our good friend Dr. Sean Curry of Evanston Family Chiropractic for his kitchen space, love of spice, hot sauce and his undying commitment to make Greyhound look silly eating crickets. You're a pro bro.

Terima kasih banyak!
Thanks for sharing this amazing nature, my friend.
Thank you!
Watching your beautiful video here, thanks again for sharing 👌
Thank you!
Thanks for the great advice along the way.
You’re welcome. Hope you enjoy 😊
Such a very nice place to see my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come
Thank you! It really is a beautiful place
Like 34👍
I think someone was pranking you about the crickets. I was born and raised here. I've spent 40+ years exploring and hiking PDC. Eating crickets had never been a thing here. Good video.
Thank you! And I don't doubt that. We thought it was a bit strange. Not a bad place to be born and raised. We definitely want to revisit.
Amazing movie, great job ! :-)
Thank you very much! 😁
Interesting place. The lighthouse rock was very cool. No thanks for the crickets. 😬
It was definitely worth it, even if it is a little out of the way. I refused the crickets too. 😂
we could use Shalako out here. : ) That's such a beautiful canyon, thanks for the detailed tour. The crickets! ugh!
I know! We joke with friends that you all need the water that has been flooding our basement and we need some of your draught. And this is the canyon I was telling you about the MTB. It looks like so much fun! We remembered to use our Relive this trip too 😁
Yes, thank you for the Relive tutorial Jan!!
Awesome video! Was the night sky really beautiful? I've heard you can see a lot of stars. We are hoping to go soon and I'm mostly excited about the stargazing.
It was amazing. We are bad at night filming, so no good footage haha, but yes, being at the campground in the canyon looking up before bed, was simply magical. We loved stargazing in Big Bend too. West Texas is bucketlist for stargazing.
great vid
Thank you 😊
The episodes from these canyons rules guys!!! Really love watching again and again the stunning scenery 😊❤️👏
Thank you Costa. We love the canyons too! So new for us!
The lighthouse rock formation is stunning and unique. I have seen this kind of rock formations only in Arches NP. I can visualize how big the lighthouse is by comparing the person walking along the ridge! It’s aptly named as the GC of Texas! Texas has some cool state parks like this it seems! Nice explore! Great video 👍👍👍
We can't wait to visit Arches. And you'd really get a kick out of this place, especially the running trails through the canyon.
This is the second video from our epic road trip series, America's Grandest Canyons. Be sure to stick around until the end to see ... crickets. Check out the evolving playlist here - ua-cam.com/play/PL1RYzf3L3P7X4ZORdSEjmeXyEcWXeQdCs.html
Very great work at the topic of your video, nice story telling and boundless wisdom shared .
Truly beautiful ❤️
Thank you! It is an incredibly beautiful place
Dear friend
Thank you for uploading a wonderful video. I watched it in full and received high praise.
I love your channel! It was
I will come again. 🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌛🌟🌟
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! This was one of our favorite spots in Texas when we lived out there! Some fun Mtn biking trails, but watch out for the cacti!
Thanks! I wish we lived closer. We really want to check out the mountain biking now! But this was our third times a charm in finally visiting the park, so we'll just be grateful.
Great video! Thanks for sharing, we made the mistake of visiting in Summer!! too hot for this hike!
Thanks! Yes way too hot! By 10am when we were almost finished it was 95° (late September). It’s gross
What a gem! Such a great trail from your campsite to the lighthouse! Beautiful scenery! Good thing you kept Zeus back at the camper, those flies would be bothersome. Cricket treats 🤪 Great video 👍🏼👍🏼 How much research do you do before embark on a trip?
Thanks! Zeus was very happy not hiking with us sometimes. 😂 If we go on a trip and do 10 things, we have probably researched at least twice that and never do half. Best things to do, openings/closures, lodging, reservations, restaurants, breweries, etc. For state park/national park/attractions, we read every park webpage, watch videos, articles. For this trip I would estimate at least over 40-50 hours, and all ahead of time. I booked our campground stuff for the Grand Canyon last November? Even just last night, we discussed what we want to do for next year - Yosemite, Zion, Glacier, Arches, Yellowstone? Still TBD LOL. We will do short impromptu trips in the northeast, but we rarely ever do a long trip that is not in advance - unless an airline forces us to use our tickets 😂😂😂
That’s why I nicknamed him Magellan! He’s my personal travel agent! ;-)
I really like your videos, long_lasting interaction registration😊😀💗
Thank you!
next time check out caprock canyon its about 2 hours south
Thank you so much for this. Looked it up and added to our database!
considering this is the second biggest canyon, I'm surprised I have never heard about it.
It deserves more attention than it receives that’s for sure. We only found out about it through several trips through Texas.
@@MagellanandGreyhound It definitely is a secret spot it seems.
I love seeing these kinds of landscapes because they are totally different from where I live. The lighthouse is amazing, what a most incredible rock formation, I have never seen anything like that 👍
We live in a similar environment as you, so we are always amazed by these landscapes as well!
120 degrees in the Canyon, yes bringing lots of water is probably the most important tip. Woohoo you guys made it to the lighthouse, what an awesome hike! Omg I can't believe Magellan did that with the crickets haha
No matter what the hike, water is always the MVP. And yes, this hike was awesome. We want to do some other ones when we return. Really cool park
@@MagellanandGreyhound awesome, I like that you guys do a lot of hiking trips, those are exciting!
@@TravelersParadise hiking is not only good exercise, but look at the places you get to see!
@@MagellanandGreyhound yes agreed but important to be careful as I just read an article about a young lady who fell off a cliff to her death while taking a selfie😱
@@TravelersParadise Yup, I don't understand the need to get a great shot when you can 99.9999% get that same shot not hanging off the edge with the right equipment.
Awesome!
Can I use some parts of this footage? Like 20 seconds of it or something like that. I'm doing Texas "bucket list" video for my Polish yt channel.
Sadly I wasn't able to visit all of the places on my list so I need someone's help. Of course I'll credit you and your channel on my video.
Hi Martini! And thank you. Shoot us an email (on our about page) if you don’t mind. What’s your UA-cam channel?
@@MagellanandGreyhound I sent an email :)
