the views were incredible

I recently visited Palo Duro Canyon Lookout, and wow, the views were incredible! The rugged terrain and unique rock formations make it feel like you’re in another world. I went in the summer, and it got pretty hot with temperatures in the 90s°F, so bring plenty of water. I can imagine winter would be chilly, down to the 30s°F, so dress accordingly. The lookout is really close to Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which has some amazing hiking trails if you want to explore more. Definitely worth a visit if you love nature and breathtaking scenery!
