CHAPTER XXX
Back to Where Star Crossed Lovers Met or Where Love Just Like, You Know, Started, Like, Because, Like, You Know……
Mile Marker: 7758. Canyon, Texas
Well, we actually met and married in Amarillo, TX but Canyon is close enough for government work. It’s just up the road a bit for heaven’s sake. Palo Duro Canyon can be found here and what a canyon it is. We both came here on dates, just not with each other. But again, I digress.
The canyon is deep and long and has lots of red rock formations. 
Sound familiar? Well, it does look a bit like Zion, Capitol Reef, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. Still, it is quite something to see in it’s own right. We hiked the Paseo Del Reo trail and, our favorite, the Lighthouse trail. 
Both offered stunning views of the canyon and its friendly inhabitants.

You can tell we are on the homeward leg of this trip because we spent fifteen minutes watching this little guy roll dung up a hill only to have it roll back down again. I did manage to get a picture of a lizard who decided to pose prettily for a second.
