    Really beautiful!! Take you time to watch the sunset at The cactus garden! We were able to cover a lot of ground in one day. Make sure you stop at the visitor center they have handy maps and layouts to help make the most of your time.

    Place to get a pass to enter the park, information, trail maps and advice. It's also a small gift shop and has restrooms. No, they don't sell food here. I've been here several times and the staff always seems eager to share the park, information and to give advice. They're helpful, polite and seem to take pride in their work. I've enjoyed going every time.
