This weekend Troy and I went camping at Caprock Canyons State Park in the Texas panhandle.  On Friday we went for a one hour hike that was on flat land above the canyons. We probably covered at least 2 miles, maybe 3.

Saturday morning we met for a group hike that went into the actual canyons.  It was a bit rockier and had more hills than our previous hike, but not too strenuous.  It was an interpretive hike, so the park ranger was telling us all about the geology, plants, animals and Native Americans that used to live there.   It was pretty interesting to learn about the history of the area and also have someone who was very knowledgeable to answer questions.

We hiked for 1 1/2 hours but only covered about 2 miles since we stopped and talked quite a bit on the first half of the hike.  It would be a good place to go back to for a longer hike.  We’d definitely start earlier in the morning because it was already getting pretty hot by the time we finished the hike at 11:30.
