I took a halfday Friday so Mike and I could drive to Canyon, Texas to visit Palo Duro Canyon State Park. It only took us about 6 hours. I didn't think the drive was too bad but then again, I wasn't the one driving.
Not only was the place beautiful but the weather couldn't have been nicer! It was in the mid 70s during the day and the low to mid 40s at night. It was Mike and my's first camping trip and we had a blast. Even Freeway accompanied us on the trip.
We hiked 6 miles (roundtrip) to see Lighthouse Rock. It was absolutely beautiful. We ran into lots of bikers and hikers who were all out to see the awesome rock. I would definitely recommened this place to anyone who likes state parks and camping! The only bad part about the trip were the enourmous amounts of flies...it was hard to get rid of them but it wasn't bad enough to ruin the trip.
