Hike to the Lighthouse
The most famous landmark at Palo Duro is the erosion feature called “The Lighthouse”. We couldn’t be here and not see it so today we hike the 10 mile round trip to see it. It’s actually a 6 mile round trip hike but we added an extra 4 miles by hiking from the campsite — sometimes I really wish the truck would come to a whistle like Trigger use to do for Roy Rogers. The hike was definitely worth it as you hopefully can tell from the photos. We managed to tire Zaph out — probably a combination of having to carry a pack, the length of the hike and the heat.

One last view of the "lighthouse"
One of the many interesting rock formations.
The spring flowers are out --- most are yellow but there are some purple and white ones too.
