What a beautiful desert! My husband and I got married here and I didn't expect to be mesmerized by it all. Our only regret is that we didn't have time to explore a little more. Next time we go back, we will plan a trip here for sure. More

Beautiful scenery with a possible chance to see wild donkeys. In mid summer some of the canyons are quite cool so it can be pure joy to get out of the 100 + heat!. The ride is nice even if you don't hike and there are scenic stops for picture ops along the way. Good way to spend a couple... More
