Canyon area activities include hiking, sightseeing, mountain biking, nature viewing, and picnicking along with park-provided educational programming and much more. Old West Stables offers guided horseback riding tours, the Wildlife Viewing Blind provides a quiet place for bird watching, and tent sites and cabin rentals are available for camping. The park’s visitor center houses a museum store containing books, pottery, jewelry, and other canyon-related items.
Palo Duro Canyon Sate Park is also home to the internationally-known, award-winning, outdoor musical TEXAS, the official play of the state of Texas.
