Quick trip over to Caprock Canyons State Park. I haven’t been since it was newly established.

Caprock Canyons is home to the official Texas Bison Herd.

Just like cattle, bison follow the vehicle they recognize.

Path to Amphitheater

It was a cold, windy day so we didn’t do any hiking but plan to return to take advantage of the many hiking trails.

There is also a trailway associated with the park, which extends 60 miles from South Plains to Estelline. On the way home, we stopped at the Monk’s Crossing trailhead. Appx. 4.5 miles west from the parking lot is an abandoned railroad tunnel, Clarity Tunnel. A colony of Mexican free-tailed bats inhabit the tunnel April – October. We are considering a return trip later in the year to see the bats exit the tunnel at dusk.
