It was surprisingly beautiful and scenic! The July heat and afternoon sun gave us a good sweat, but the exercise and views were worth it.
The trail was well-marked until you hit the huge rock openings. Then, it was almost impossible to find where the trail picks up again. To make matters worse, each huge rock formation looked like the one before it, so we ended up navigating the ridge using the park below as an occasional guide.
We packed plenty of water, which was key. And we got super dirty with all the red sand. The reviews said to wear long pants or boots and to watch out for snakes, but fortunately we just saw lizards.
It took us about 2 1/2 hrs to hike in & out since we didn't want to complete the last mile of the trail loop using black-top road. Overal, a fun afternoon with my girls.
