"Grand Canyon of Texas". Opened in 1934, this canyon is 120 miles long and 800 feet deep and is the second largest canyon in the United States. The canyon was formed less that a million years ago when the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River first carved it's way through the Southern High Plains. The canyon is rich in layers of rocks of various colors, rich in history as well as plants and wildlife. One picture was taken at 7 am from our bedroom window. The sunlight reflecting off the red rock walls of the canyon. Another is taken at the bottom of the switchbacks as John is driving the rv out of the canyon. We had camped at the back of the canyon and enjoyed several days of it's beauty.
