Although Palo Duro Canyon State Park is beautiful all year round, I highly recommend seeing it in the summer so that you can include tickets to the musical drama "Texas".
This is the 35th year of the musical and it has entertained...
Pros: Beautiful scenery, easy access, cheap
fee, great sunsets, etc...... Cons: The somewhat scary drive into and out of

Pros: Rustic scenery; close to Canyon and Amarillo; cool summer nights; showers Cons: Hot summer days; no Starbucks in Canyon
The park is an unexpected delight in the middle of the flat Texas panhandle. A short drive from Amarillo, the park road crosses the beginning of the canyon--on your left there is no canyon, and on your right is the canyon! Colors are beautiful, wildlife is plentiful, and the state park is Texas' best rustic landscape. Camping can be via tent, RV, or cabin. We stayed in one of the cabins on the rim of the canyon and experienced an awesome view. The wind whipped dust around the canyon ridge all night and howled around the edges of the windows and doors. I thought it was romantic, but it frightened my husband. We grilled steaks and sat outside at sunset. The fireworks at the end of the play (in the summer) were more gorgeous in color than I had ever seen. Mountain or road bike trails as well as hiking trails are plentiful in the bottom of the canyon.
Another great Texas Panhandle treat. by txroadrunner ,Sep 16 '03
Pros: Great views, take your camera. The Lighthouse trail is one of the best. Cons: Do not go in the very hot Summer months. fishermen and boaters, find another place.
Who says the plains and panhandle of Texas is boring? Well, they better look again. For those interested in a great hiking experience, then hit the Light House trail for an excursion through the wonderful caprock wilderness. Lots of critters to see and at the end, try to make it all the way to the top of the top.
Visit the other trails to hike and explore. This is one experience that will never be forgotten. For more 411, visit : http://www.txroadrunners.com.
Finally, this park is not far from Canyon and Amarillo so you can visit the park in the morning and see other sights in the afternoon.
