This park offers many paths to take and is good for all ages. I suggest going up to the ridge to look at the views on either side. Love this place! Great place to bring the sketchbook and watercolors.

Great hiking, biking, etc. They used to film the T.V. series Gunsmoke here. Some highlight include Paradise Falls, Indian Cave, The TeePee, Visitor Center. Keep an eye out for rattle snakes. There are also some Pokemon Gyms hidden in here.
