Park the car and head up the wash...soon you'll be craning your neck to view the top of the canyon walls that get taller and more narrow as you go. If your adventurous, head into "Ladder Canyon" and go to where few are. More

lots to look at, many different colors in the rock, great views of the salton sea, the hike mite take 3-4 hours. very hot in the summer More

This was a great hike. The canyons were beautiful. It is a long dirt road to get there and there is not much around. There was a lot of broken glass in the parking lot so don't leave valuables in your vehicle. The hike has deep sand and gets hot very quickly. Bring lots of water. The trail is marked... More

We did the one on the left amazing hike. Take plenty of water and food.. be prepared for anything.... This is not a national park or... More

You have to see it to appreciate the variations of rock. Although hiking books list the trip (ladders to Painted Canyon) as Easy, it has some challenges. If your hikers aren't comfortable on ladders you are limited to the lower part of the painted canyon but it's still very interesting. If your hikers are okay with a bit of rock... More

Loved this place, hikes on ladders and through slot canyons with great views once you get up high. Bit of a drive to get there, but worth the trip. More
