Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway lie along the Caprock Escarpment, a long, slender formation of rock that marks the transition between the western High Plains (known as the Llano Estacado) and the easterly Rolling Plains. The rock escarpment is a thousand feet high in places and creates an impressive vista as it drops off the flat farm fields of the Llano, collapsing into deep red canyons that expose layers of the Earth’s ancient past. The park offers hiking, camping, fishing (in tiny Theo Lake), and wildlife watching.
