Small parking lot that gets full quickly, especially when everyone parks their cars parallel around the edge vs angled. When we arrived the lot was almost tapped out with 8 cars parked parallel, we angled in for the last spot which left room for another car to angle in. When we got back all but 1 original car were angled in and there were 12 cars in the lot. A little consideration goes a long way.
We just chose a series of turns to cobble together a 6 mile loop. First time in this section and I really like the easy terrain and scenery. This place is littered with the most juvenile Saguaros which are fun to spot amongst the monsters. Nothing too steep up or down, just a nice walk. Encountered 2 coyotes in a wash who didn't seem to be bothered too much by our presence by barely moving out of the wash before re-entering it after they got by us.
This was a very satisfying hike for us. Good distance without too much exertion. You can't go wrong wearing boots, there are plenty of places where you'll get sure footing vs running shoes.
We're full time RVr's focused on hiking, blog link in bio.
