I'm traveling from DFW for a once in a lifetime trip to Canyon, TX. Arrive at 6:00 pm on day one, stay 2 nights, leave in the early afternoon of day 3. I am returning to my home state, and will probably not be this way again. My question is, should I buy tickets to one canyon, or both? I will be hiking, but my spouse will mostly be in the car. What can I see/ do in roughly 1.5 days?
The part of the canyon you can drive through is kind of short but beautiful so if your partner stays in the car they are going to miss out on a bit. you drive down a steep twisty road into the canyon and then the road makes a loop through part of the park. you will see more of it hiking or mountain biking.
Depending on the time of year there is a great musical production at the open air amphitheater that’s built out of the surrounding rock so you won’t want to miss that. I’m sure you can find online where to buy tickets or get them there.
Also don’t sleep on the cafe in the gift shop, they make a great burger.
