Palo Duro Canyon

When i visisted the park it was as hot as hell and the flies where biting something fierce. I remember going here when i was a kid to see the show. I remember hiking and it was hotter than hell then also. It has grown up around the entrance to the park which makes for a kinda low expectation scenario because its kinda messy. The view of the permian basin is quite specatacular but did i say that it was hotter than hell. The State needs to add some more land around the lip of the park so that patrons can observe the park from more vistas. The visitor center seems like it hasn't been updated from when i was a kid they have virtually no botanical information except for some simple specimens. there is no dicussion about the rare and unussual habitat. This is pretty much a Texas park underfunded overused. Public parks in Texas really have never been a high priority for as long as i can remember in Texas. If your going to visit go in the spring or fall because any other time its hotter than hell
I can't say anything about the musical because i didn't catch the show, but it is suppose to be one of the longest running show anywhere i think . . . . more later
