It is a beautiful place, too bad theres no drivable trails, being it's all private property.
Aha... I beg to differ. Street Wolf discovered some trails further down the canyon to the southeast that are perfectly legal... there's even a tiny town down there called... Palo Duro!
Your right, though. All the pretty trails that you can see shooting off into that canyon are private. If you drive down route 207 to the southeast you can see all these trails in detail... but you still can't get to them.
This was yet another frustration on our Palo Duro scouting trip.
Nice pictures. Its a very pretty canyon. I try to make it out there a couple times a year.
Thank you for the comments. We were also hoping to find some trails but had no luck.
I have it in GPX format, I forget where I got it from, ether a free site or the pay site called every trial or trails.com, but when I went there the first time we fallowed the flags left up from a race the day before. The trail is like 4 or more big loops, and knowing when to jump onto the next loop in order to take the whole circle trail around the greater portion of the park is valuable. Also check the ranger station for a map...and I think there were also a posted maps at most trail heads for that loop.
Jeep Jamboree gets access to the private parts of the park every year. All you gotta do is fork over some of your cash (and drive a Jeep) and you'll get to drive.
