Long drive but great golden hour sunset photos. Follow signs into fantasy canyon rec area and not google maps that takes you further down the road. Climb around there are lots of neat rock formations, kids would like this. Still hot in July at sunset. Lots of parking, beautiful scenery on the drive. Watch out for deer grazing at the edge of the road.

This is such a cool place. Be sure to wear hiking shoes or good supportive shoes if you are going to be exploring around, it can get slippery and/or steep. Overall it’s a good place to visit, the rocks are amazing and it’s kinda magical for the kids and adults alike.
