Excellent picnic facilities, clean grounds, lovely trails in different terrain and different lengths. Close to La Junta. Ruins are well marked.

This is a good area for hiking and biking. The canyon given access to Picketwire Canyon dinosaur tracks, but it is a long hike, so take plenty of water. Mid summer hiking is discouraged as temperatures may reach 100+ and there are no facilities.

Hiked a 2&1/2 ml. trail specifically to view the petroglyphs. What an awful disgrace! The true ART was marked over with so much graffiti, hardly anything could be deciphered. The worst was that there were so many bullet holes in the face of the panel. Such a shame.
