  • This was our first stop in the Park; it was a good introduction and the Park Guide that was there was very informative and happy to talk to us.

  • Gorgeous views of the pits and small house. Unfortunately, a lot of the places were closed either due to construction at the museum or road work. It's an amazing drive and lots of look outs and places to hike to. It's just unfortunate that a lot of the places were closed. Bring water or a camelbak for the hikes as well as some good footwear.
  • A relatively short and easy hike (10-20 mins with not a bad elevation change) to a nice little ruin. You get to walk around the ruin and climb a little ladder. This hike is great for young children and the path is pathed, so it could be wheelchair accessible.
