Kathleen Rhoad led this hike. It was a beautiful day for a hike and this area is well worth the drive. In general the terrain offers an easy to moderate hike, depending on the length of the hike. There are wonderful sandstone formations, an extensive lava field, and a natural arch with petroglyphs near by. We also paid a visit to La Ventana arch. For more information click here.
