Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway
Subnational Park · Quitaque, Texas
About 15,300 acres of red rock canyon cut into the Caprock Escarpment in the Texas Panhandle, and the home of the official Texas State Bison Herd — animals descended from the last of the Southern Plains bison, roaming free across almost the entire park. It is an International Dark Sky Park, it has nearly ninety miles of trail, and its 64-mile rail-trail runs through Clarity Tunnel, where up to half a million bats spend the summer.
