A water crossing in the Palo Duro Canyon slices through fall foliage. Palo Duro Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of Texas, was carved by water erosion from the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River. AMARILLO - Faces, Places & Open Spaces 172
The sun shines most days on the High Plains; Amarillo residents enjoy bright blue skies and abundant sunshine on an average of two-thirds of all the days in each year. Cool mornings are the rule and give respite to residents even in the midst of summer. The glorious skies that encompass the city are the setting for some of the most beautiful weather events in the world. After an icy snow, sun usually returns swiftly and colors the Panhandle with sparkles that look like fairy dust. Rain seldom comes quietly to the city of Amarillo. Most often, rumbling thunder storms merge with Panhandle horizons, and roll across the area bringing lightening shows that can be seen for miles. Sometimes the roiling storms are green and black and at other times, they are brown with tinges of orange about them. On stormy days, the morning sky starts out as a vast crystal blue palette where God draws puffy snow white clouds at mid-day. As the day marches along, those puffy snow white clouds amass into an angriness that boils and churns until they begin to charge across the plains. As they race across the thirsty earth, they drop their blessed raindrops and the people of Amarillo and surrounding area thank God for the precious moisture. Foliage in the Palo Duro Canyon turns bright shades of yellow and crimson in the fall, adding another layer of color to the ancient strata of the canyon walls. Chapter 3 173
