Palo Duro Canyon Lighthouse Vertical

05012022

Palo Duro Canyon Lighthouse Vertical - I started out at the the trail head for the Lighthouse at Palo Duro Canyon State Park and as I was moving down the lighthouse trail through up and down across washes and old river beds it was more difficult than anticipated especially with 40 pounds of camera gear and tripod. The hike to the Lighthouse rock is a 6 mile round trip and I had to cross many dry river bed washes then up and down so not an easy trek, but got through after a couple of hours one way. Once I got to the trail lighthouse and rested up a bit I climb up to higher platform level to capture this image of the lighthouse with some nice clouds and blue sky in a vertical format. The palo duro canyon was formed millions of years ago by water, wind erosion. Water erosion over the millennia has shaped the canyon's geological formations. Palo Duro Canyon was formed by water erosion from the Red River. The water deepens the canyon by moving sediment downstream. The geology is sedimentary laid down over millions of years. Wind and water erosion gradually widen the canyon. Now I can say when it come to wind this whole area of the Texas Panhandle was windy so this is not a shock. Most of the terrain in the panhandle is very flat and as you drive up to the state park you start to see some major changes in the landscape from flat to big wide gullies until you get into the park. There you can see for a good distance across the vast area of the canyons with peak and valleys. Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the United States with the largest being the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Photo © copyright by Bee Creek Photography - Tod Grubbs / Cynthia Hestand.
