Hike with the Pioneers of Palo Duro

Learn about the different pioneers through time who first saw Palo Duro’s walls on this hike.

Join our rangers in this informative stroll with the pioneers of the canyon. We will be hiking along the Pioneer Nature Trail; an easy 0.5-mile loop near the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River. During our hike, we will stop and discuss and how water played a role in why they came to the canyon.
