Upper Yellow House Draw Canyon

Bailey County, Texas

An aerial perspective of the Upper Yellow House Draw in Bailey County, Texas. Unlike the near-vertical cliffs further east, this escarpment shows a gentler break in the Llano Estacado, a shallow valley carved into the tableland where caliche ledges, winter native grasses, and a quiet stock pond break up the endless, flat horizon.
