What to do
Stargazing opportunities: Copper Breaks State Park Campground, located 20 miles south of Quanah, is designated as a National Dark Sky site. "The only reason I give this park a 3 is because we did not stay long enough to explore the trails. We went for its epic dark skies!

Hiking trails: Multiple trails at Copper Breaks offer hiking opportunities ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. "We took advantage of the trails and did a 7 mile hike on the moderate level.
