Fortress Cliff Primitive — Palo Duro Canyon State Park
Reviewed Nov. 19, 2021

Hidden Gem in Texas

I certainly understand why they call it the “Grand Canyon of Texas”! This is an absolutely stunning place with rustic camping and great hiking trails. We did The Lighthouse Trail all the way to the top and it was stunning. There’s a Trading Post inside the park with groceries, firewood, and souvenirs, they also make a great burger!
