Even a cloudless sky can become an interesting background is your subject is a beautiful as the scenery at Caprock Canyons State Park in Quitaque, Texas. Standing here on a warm fall evening, looking over miles and miles of pristine desert and colorful canyons is one of life’s simple pleasures.
Caprock Canyons State Park is one of the states most beautiful and least explored parks. Many folks visiting the Texas panhandle miss this wonderful park situated on the southwestern rim of Palo Duro Canyon, well away from any major highways and cities. Those that find their way there are greeted by miles and miles of desert trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. The geology of the area is incredible and behind every one of those buttes seen in this image is another and another, just waiting to be explored.
