If you're up for the adventure, Palo Duro Creek Ranch is located on TX-217 in Canyon.
Choose between three different tours, each one showcasing the canyon in a slightly different way.

The most basic among them, the Black Hawk Tour, lasts for about an hour and slowly descends into the canyon from the rim. This excursion is offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday-Sunday.
The "in-between" tour is known as Hidden Spring Canyon, and it's two hours long.

From ancient plant life to sweeping canyon vistas to a majestic waterfall, you'll see a little bit of everything - including an abandoned graveyard and authentic Plains Indian Tipi. This tour is offered Thursday-Sunday.
