My daughter, who was 18 at the time, and I, went hiking for a week in Palo Duro Canyon a couple years ago. She had been there a couple years earlier with some friends of hers. We hiked the lighthouse trail, and when we got to the top, there was one last rock she wanted to climb, to get to the very top. I looked at it and told her absolutely not. It was a 200-300 foot drop on ether side if she made one small slip. Then she told me she did it last time she was here. I told her he’ll no, that I was not going to stand here and watch her plummet to her death. Then I walked off by myself for a couple minutes, and tears came to my eyes, knowing how close she was to dying last time she was here.
This is the rock she wanted to climb. It’s straight down on both sides.
