This hike will cover 2.5 miles on trail that is relatively flat but sandy. Throughout the hike the ranger will stop to show rock art, artifacts, and point out the plant that would have been used by the native peoples that once called the parks valleys home. Hikers should bring water, sunscreen and wear sturdy shoes. Bathrooms and water are located at the trailhead.
