The dramatic canyons and vast plains of this area were central to the Buffalo Soldiers' campaigns in the Texas Panhandle in the late 19th century. The 10th Cavalry operated extensively here during the Red River War, pursuing Comanche and Kiowa bands and securing the last frontier of the Texas plains. As you explore Caprock Canyons State Park's vibrant red cliffs and extensive trailway, imagine the endurance and strategic skill required of these troopers in this rugged, unforgiving landscape. You might even spot the official Texas State Bison Herd, descendants of the very bison the Buffalo Soldiers encountered.
