The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

Protect feet from rocks and hot surfaces—sturdy closed-toe shoes are required and more comfortable for rough terrain.

Hydration and sun protection

Bring water and sunscreen even though a cooler is provided—wide desert temperature swings make sun protection crucial.

Download local map offline

Keep the GPS tablet charged and save any personal maps offline before heading out in case of intermittent signal.

Respect cultural sites

Avoid shortcutting or entering marked archaeological areas; these are protected and require stewardship.

Conservation Note

Stay on designated routes to avoid creating new tracks; pack out trash and use provided water sparingly to reduce strain on desert resources.

This red-rock country contains ancestral sites tied to Navajo and Yavapai peoples; some trails pass near archaeological areas that require respect and leave-no-trace behavior.
