I lived in the panhandle of Texas for 47 years and some of my best memories are the times we spent in the canyon. We have driven 60 miles in the snow to get to the canyon to see it in it's most awesome glory.....covered in snow!!

Hot or cold weather it is a GREAT place....

ONLY 2 WARININGS: LEARN TO RECOGNIZE POISON OAK AND IVY AND STAY OUT OF IT AT THE FERN CAVE!!!! It is all over the place.....and one other thing....TAKE LOTS OF WATER!!
