Notes from visits
-
- There is a small visitor's centers and a campground that looked ok for RVs (but there are other, nicer campgrounds in the area).
- There is a paved bike trail through the park that looks like it would be fun to do on an ebike.
- Recommended hiking trails:
- Jenny's Canyon (short slot; it was ok)
- Hidden Pinyon Trail to the overlook (this had good views from the overlook)
- Petrified Dunes trail (1 mile; haven't done yet)
- Lava Flow Overlook area (bring flashlight to explore the lava tubes; after Lava Cave 3 trail goes to pretty white/red sandstone; haven't done yet)
- Scout Cave (haven't done yet)
- Met someone who said if you drive up N through the park to I15 and go N there is a trailhead (he thought it was called Red Cliffs, but I think he meant White Rocks) that goes up to a white ridge with amazing views
- Best viewed middle of the afternoon on, but not too late or in shadow; in September there is a Datura bloom (source: Photographing the Southwest Vol 1 p. 24)
