The Palo Duro Canyon is commonly referred to as the Grand Canyon of Texas.

The Palo Duro Canyon is the second-longest and second-largest canyon in America, with a 120-mile length that rises 3,463 feet above sea level and drops 800 feet.

It was formed by the Prairie Dog Town fork of the Red River and was named for the surrounding mesquite and juniper trees and the Spanish word for "hardwood."

It's a unique instagrammable spot.
