Palo Duro Canyon

PALO DURO CANYON, TEXAS
approximately 5 x 8.5
Pastel on Sanded Paper

When driving west on I-40 from Oklahoma City to Amarillo, the first rest stop in Texas is at Palo Duro Canyon. It's worth a stop because the scenery is awesome and you can see for miles. They have a wonderful display inside with the history of the area and information on the canyon which is second in size to the Grand Canyon. You can see more info on it here. The view from the rest stop is very nice, but the state park is on my list as a "must visit" in more depth.

This little pastel painting only hints at the awesomeness of this place.
