Caprock Canyons State Park & Trailway - Quitaque (TX)

5 /5 Samuel Bruce: Quiet park offering easy or more challenging trails. Still a lot of flowers and blooms in late May, early June. These I found on the Lower North Prong. I just love the solitude the park offers. On the lower north I didnt run into a single hiker, just a lone bull who scurried away on the trail. Great escape even on the weekends. I can imagine during the week, its even quieter. I camped in upper North prong and some campers found some pretty nice spots farther away from each other incase of rowdy younger folks who dont respect camp hours.

5 /5 Phil R: We visited for two days early April a few days after the snow to hike the various trails. An amazing park with stunning vistas, beautiful canyons, frequent bison encounters, and an unexpected black-tailed prarie dog area. Because of the snow melt, the flowering plants were in abundance, which made each trail unique and very pretty. The eagle point trail was an easy walk of about two miles each way with a nice picnic area by the lake. The lower north prong trail was an easy walk with some interesting geology, many wildflowers, and amazing vistas. The Haynes ridge overlook trail was somewhat more challenging and worth the effort. The canyon rim trail was very easy walking and the bison group (bulls, cows, and calves) was an unexpected bonus watch from afar. Over two days, we saw several bison groups, some single bison out on their own munching on the new growth, and loved the antics of the prarie dogs (and their resident roadrunner) The parks staff were great, and made sure we were really ok as we headed back to our car after a day of hiking in the heat. Glad we came in April. Im sure in June the heat, especially in the canyon floor, would make the trails extra challenging.

5 /5 Mark Flesher: Absolutely gorgeous. Usually windier than Palo Duro, definitely the case when we went. The visitor center is modeled after the striations of gypsum frequently found in the park - nice touch. Bathrooms at the visitor center. Gift shop has well thought out items (we spent quite a bit here). Trails are wide and beautiful. The expanse of the park is breathtaking and beautiful. Bison and prairie dogs everywhere toward the front. Awesome to see the ancestors of Goodnights herd! Please give bison their space. Not 50 feet... 50 YARDS please! Remember, they are used to cars, but still wild animals and WILL CHARGE if they feel threatened. Great experience here! Will be back to hike the entire north prong and overlook next time!

5 /5 Krystal Harmony Tikvah: This park is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is incredible. The primitive camping spots offer some privacy and have a fair size. The camping spots with water and electricity are also a good size and offer privacy. They are not too close to each other. The restrooms appeared clean, but they could use some remodeling. An upgrade could be beneficial, as they appear to be old. The park rangers at this park, unlike the ones at other parks, are nice and courteous. At this park you literally hike with bison. There is other wildlife in this park too; the very cute prairie dogs, coyotes, gray foxes, raccoons, bobcats, white-tailed deer, jackrabbits and cottontail rabbits. This park has a prairie dog town near the main entrance and others along some trails. They live in complex burrow systems and are often seen standing upright, keeping watch, and other times also looking at you and behaving as if they were playing hide and seek with you. This park has a lot to offer to both outdoor lovers and adventure enthusiasts. It is a park that you want to visit many times and never get tired of it.
