Thanks Jon, and thanks for helping with the DFW coordinationThe Jeep trials in Palo Duro are private property and only open for special events such as the Jeep Jamboree.
I have come across a post on another website that recommends a nice route on county roads.
Here is the text from the post that I used to map the route on Gaia: http://www.find-off-road-trails.com/palo-duro-canyon-jeepoffroad-trails.html
"I may be a little late on this, but hopefully the next time you're up here, you can experience this little known "trail" (it's all county roads, but they're not the most well kept) through Palo Duro Canyon. Since you'll be coming from DFW (assuming you're coming up US 287), I'll give you directions to start at the south end of the trail. When you reach Clarendon, turn left (SW) on to FM 2162 (AKA Koogle St.,) Which will be the stoplight between the Trading Post and Allsups. Take 2162 all the way down to CO RD X. This is essentially the start of the "trail". Just follow the road. There are many side roads, but explore at your own risk, all of the surrounding land is private ranch land. That being said keep an eye out for cattle. You will cross several cattle guards, but don't worry, as long as you stay on the main road, you'll be okay.
You'll come up to a ranch house, Slow down as you travel through this section as there are children that live there. Drive over their cattle guard, and into their fenced property (remember you're still on the CO RD.) At this point you will make a Right hand turn (N) on to what becomes CO RD 25. Just follow the road back up out of the canyon. It will eventually Lead to CO RD 21, Which will take you out to FM 2272 (AKA Romeo Rd). Follow this road to the west, and it will Lead you out to TX 207. To get back to US 287, simply follow 207 north, and it will meet up with 287 on the west end of Claude, right next to the Cefco.
I hope this is something along the lines you're looking for. I have made this drive many times, in both directions and have never had a problem with anyone down there, just with cattle blocking the road. ;) "

Thread Title says "Palo Duro State Park", which is open to the public and different from where the Jeep Jamborees are. Does OP want info on PDSP or something else?The Jeep trials in Palo Duro are private property and only open for special events such as the Jeep Jamboree.

I suppose he could want a hiking guide...but I took a shot that he may want something vehicular related. I could be wrong, happens often, just ask my wife.

Yes i beleive so, on the off chance a state warden is there they can ticket you. Any offroad park that gets state funds your supposed to have the sticker.
