To those claiming to have fossils and "having them checked" please stop.

Basically open desert with some Bluffs. Not much information on the pamphlet. Fun hike but the kids were a little disappointed after Red Rock Canyon.

This is a national monument with a lot of potential even if urban sprawl has pushed clear out to it's borders. It is a basic walking path with a three sided kiosk with groups of charts and information about the national monument. As is I would not recommend going unless you just happen to be in the neighborhood.

Good for a little hike. Ran into a about an 18 inch rattlesnake. Watch around bushes. If there's one there's probably more. Pet friendly. Horse friendly. Easy terrain.

Park at the south end of moccasin road and walk up the wash

Can you take your dog?

Yes, but the dogs have to be on a leash no longer than 6 feet. But honestly this area is huge and you basically never see anyone else so...

Can u park over night ?

Hit or miss; you could probably park here for a night or two. I've seen cars get slapped with "notice to move or tow" warnings though. During cooler seasons just park at Aliante and walk the 2 miles.

I’m handicapped how do I get access to this area I live within 200 feet of the fenced area and haven’t been able to visit these lands for for quite a few years that I moved next to 35 years ago

I haven't found any handicapped access myself. I drove along the side road that's there to see if there was an m opening where my grandpa could walk out on top of one of the "ledges" to just get a view over the area but there was no access. There's also no area that's easy for a chair or walker. It's just an extremely natural area and not ideal for those with limited mobility sadly. From trekking through there I found a gravel road access but after further looking that's not accessible for public sadly because it's the easiest way to get a view. Must be for the workers and archeologists to access. From all I've read there is no public access anywhere that's easy to view. It will be developed more in the coming years I've read, with possible welcome center.. But I doubt it'll ever be handicap accessible because of the lay of the land.
