0.6 Mile hike from the top. Parking 3 dollars at the top but at the bottom parking is free space is limited. Nice picture spot

Wow! Free parking and if it's full drive a little further up for $3 parking with porta potty and 0.7 mile each way walk back to the 360 degree view point. Amazing.
-
Great place to watch Sunset. 360 degree view. Get there early as parking lot gets full during sunset.
-
Beautiful sight seeing. The earth there is rich with iron so it has a strong magnetic field. This is called a vortex, and many people like myself have experienced supernatural thing wheen going there.
-
A bit overrun with tourist vehicles during popular times (like mid-afternoon to sunset) but a fantastic view and loop hike if you can get an early enough start. Airport Mesa is known locally as a "masculine" vortex, so not the most relaxing place to star if you have just arrived in town and feel a bit ungrounded or anxious. Start with Red Rock Crossing or even Cathedral Rock.
