You definitely need a vehicle with high clearance or 4 wheel drive. It was an interesting ride getting to our destination but once there it was breathtaking, amazing, and just inspiring. All this beauty created by wind, water, and time.

The Mine Wash was walking. I enjoyed the cacti. We were in the desert. I enjoyed the cacti. Toward the end there was a huge white boulder. They used that for meals. I liked the mountains as well. An Ocotillo was nearby. Naturally there were a lot of rocks. We had fun and we learned a lot.

My husband and I enjoyed a 7 mile hike just past Maiden Hair Falls and back. The trail starts slow and easy then increases in difficulty as you head up into the canyon. The last mile or so requires climbing up and down some large and small boulders. One has to "follow one's nose" as there are no trail markers. Take water and snacks. I would recommend a hat, sunglasses, and hiking boots. We are in our late 60's and reasonably fit. We had no problems. At whatever age, a moderate degree of fitness is required to make it to (and past the falls). There is plenty of parking and two vault toilets at the site. No fees.

you can find trail head by entering "slot canyon" into google...little hard to find. a short drive off road easily manageable by 2 wheel passenger cars... You can either do the short slot canyon hike 1 mile round trip (.5 in and .5 out) or go .5 in and then continue out straight to another trail that leads to a ridge line trail back to the parking lot which makes it approximately a 2 mile hike. We did the later...Fun

Perfect Fall day for a hike up to the palms. Hiking thru the sand and over rocks plus a creek crossing with running water was great to see. Towards the top you hike among the boulders to reach the palms. Take water to stay dehydrated. Was 60's in December and partly sunny. Had a picnic after our 2 hour hike. There are 2 open air flash toilets below the trail.
