One of the most beautiful hikes I’ve ever done. However, you need to take a lot of water with you and an electrolyte drink. At least a gallon (in my opinion) made the mistake of just taking a regular water bottle and it was definitely not enough. Going back up, I experienced dehydration and lack of electrolytes. The weather was hot too, so I suggest starting in the early morning. Besides that though, I loved the water pools at the bottom! It was very refreshing and just a beautiful sight to take in.

Yes, but you need a parking pass that can only be purchased online.

Must the parking permit be printed? Or do they allow digital one?

I think it says in the website that it has to be printed but they do have a list tbry check. I would hope if you drive all the way out there and didn't print it out they wouldn't turn you away but who knows!

Can a normal sedan make it on the road there? And are dogs allowed?

Jose Vega | Feb 23, 2020
Cheryl Hartz | Feb 24, 2020

It's 17 miles of rough gravel. A sedan could make it but you're likely to bottom out at some point if you don't drive extremely slowly. Dogs are allowed. Hope yours is an able hiker and can take the heat.

Yes but dont go if it's rainy because you would probably struggle if the road is muddy
