Really pretty, interesting history, and some good hiking and photo opportunities. There are places that aren't good for people with a fear of heights or vertigo, but the views are amazing!

Highly recommend! Beautiful trails and a beautiful area to be in. We saw a few lizards and small flying bugs.

We were thankful we made time to see this beautiful breathe taking view! We will never forgot the memories made here! We had a wonderful hike! Just look at my pictures! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS !! Definitely come prepared with good hiking shoes, water, snacks, sunblock and a good map! Know your hiking limits. Plan your day a head of time. You must bring your camera and a fully charged phone. Look at the weather before heading up. If you are scared of cliffs and curvy roads have someone that is confident driver drive. It's worth driving all the way through. So give yourself the time needed. There is a visitor center open 7 days a week. You will want to stop in and grab a map and souvenirs. Great place to use the restrooms! The view behind it is amazing! We did the trail behind it too! During our hike it began to rain. We found shelter under one of the stops. Waited the rain out and it was worth it! We were blessed with a double 🌈 🌈 rainbow! The views were amazing! Pack a picnic and enjoy the wonderful beauty everywhere you look! We seen lots of wild life! Mountains goats and lizards where every where if you look closely! It's wild how the wind picks up at one of the look outs! Stop at as many as you got time for they put them at the best spots. I can't believe more people don't talk about this place. It's a must see! Well worth the drive!
