Canyon USA Magnet

Canyon is a small city located in the Texas Panhandle, best known as the home of West Texas A&M University and the major gateway to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The city has a strong university identity, but its primary draw for tourists is the natural wonder just minutes away, the 'Grand Canyon of Texas.' Visitors to Canyon often explore the dramatic landscapes of Palo Duro Canyon, known for its red rock formations, multi-coloured canyon walls, and rugged beauty. The park offers hiking, horseback riding, and the popular outdoor musical 'TEXAS.' Canyon itself provides access to the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, the largest history museum in Texas, offering insights into the region's ranching, Native American, and pioneer history.
