1. Malad Gorge State Park

This gorge is partially visible from the freeway as you speed by. But, take a few minutes and exit the freeway to really see this "hidden" treasure of a gorge. There is a pedestrian bridge (almost right below the interstate bridge) that allows you to view the Devil's Washbowl stairstep falls, as well as the stunning springtime waterfall jumping out from the cliffs a bit down the canyon. A lot of WOW for a few minutes of invested time. The canyon walls, and the river below you, are a beautiful sight even without the seasonal waterfall. There are other short hikes available for further views, but since we didn't take them, can not comment other than to check them out if you have time. Also in this park, are a restroom, a picnic area, and lot lot of room to stretch your legs...or your dogs legs.

This is a really beautiful area with lots of history. Don't miss the short walk to see the falls and enjoy wandering the grounds. This area is quite popular in the summer time - we saw lots of families with water toys etc.

Had some out of town guests and stopped in to check the center out and was very impressed by the exhibits, the great video about the fossil beds and the the park ranger lady who was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend if you are in Hagerman
