Nice little park. Easy way to get close to the border

Beautiful scenery, but potentially dangerous. Visited with a Border Patrol agent who warned us human and drug traffickers use the area to smuggle narcotics and illegal migrants through. He pointed to several spotters on the Mexican side who were watching us. Despite the sinister nature of the location, it's still stunningly beautiful, but be aware of the dangers if you visit.

Historically interesting. Back in the 70’s & 80’s literally thousands of people were coming through here every night, entering El Norte. Manny Lopez & BARF were out there in the canyons at night too, undercover, the “thin blue line” protecting the pollos from bandits, rapists, etc

Been Here many many times. The hills is like 300 ft but is somewhat steep but very fun. I would recommend everyone to try it out, the view is worth the hike.
