I just wanted to start off by saying we have visited this cemetery more than once around 4 times one of the times I went with my boyfriend and his brother and a few friends we were all standing in the back of the newer cemetery and we heard what sounded like something running up on us well no big deal but after that I could hear what sounded like a growing sound to say the least this stuff follows you home that night we got back my trash can lid flew off and I could hear a females voice in my daughters room as well as a similar blue light we saw that night in my hallway the last time we went we didn’t see much till the end when I and a few other people who showed up seen a tall dark figured man lurking in the corner of the old cemetery who seemed to be following my brother and my boyfriends brother the vibe I got from that dude was no less than evil when we got back too our house my tv was turning up on its own and my downstairs google was playing music this finally stopped after putting crosses up but if you don’t want this stuff following you home I wouldn’t recommend going

Rather rugged. Bring your boots. No bathroom facilities but we used our camping equipment and set up temporary facilities. There are two ways to search. One is to sift though the river gravel and you will find small teeth etc. The other is to dig into the river bank, There you will find fewer but larger fossils.

A dramatic 60-mile long and 800-foot deep canyon noted for its excellent hiking, birding, fishing and mountain biking.

Plan ahead. Book ahead and overnight IN the Canyon, if you possibly can. For the 2nd time - I goofed and I'm still kicking myself, since it was fully Booked on this particular day, so we had to head for Amarillo - well down I.40 a bit, actually. Weather on (both) days was great - this year the best. I would only defer a visit, if threatened by a serious Storm (thunder / lightning AND heavy rain, due to the risk of a Flash Flood). Otherwise dress sensible and enjoy. It can get cool at night, even in high Summer. Water, Drinks, Hats, Shades, Binnos & Cameras commended. Shoes or Hiking footwear - not sandals or flipflops. I think I am right in saying - there are places to Camp (tent), TrailerTent, Caravan, RV Park, Condos/Appts, & Cabins. Where is it ? Texas. At the very end of Hwy 217 heading East, off Hwy 1541 Sth from Amarillo. and/or off I.27 (also Nth/Sth from Amarillo) - approx. 40 mins from Amarillo beltway, subject to traffic. Lot of work on Hwy 335 West side of Amarillo in March 2019 & its going to take a while. NB. 'State' not 'National' Park, so certain Passes do not qualify. Cannot recall the Fees, but do, that they were not excessive. Both the Visitor Centre (El Coronado Lodge - Maps, Guidance, Trails Info, Accommodation queries, fascinating History, Geology, Wildlife, Birdlife, Curios & clean Restrooms) and Palo Duro Canyon Observation Point are worth stopping at - great views too. Just round the back & to Sth side of Palo Duro Trading Post (popular b/fast, lunch stop it appears) is a Bird Watching Spot with water baths and (stocked) bird feeders etc and good signage to help with ID'ing. The road down into the Canyon, after the Observation Point is quite steep & narrow, and because of the Vista, prone to cars stopping to take the shot - chill for them and they will for you. It's not a race. Suitable for all ages, and In My Humble Opinion, for a wide variety of 'Mobility Issue' folks. Walks or Hikes - choice is yours - just ask. Pls stay on the Trails though. Straying causes considerable &, almost always, irreparable damage. My Photos to add are ALL over 10 mbs, so too large for TA - SORRY.

This was a fun, quick stop in Odessa. The place is a good opportunity for kids to climb and run around. Pro tip: Stay off the grass. There are stickers and thorns that will go through the soles of your shoes.
