As the second-largest canyon in the United States, it is roughly 120 mi long and has an average width of 6 miles. Palo Duro Canyon has been named `The Grand Canyon of Texas` both for its size and for its dramatic geological features, including the multicolored layers of rock and steep mesa walls, which are similar to those in the Grand Canyon.
