Mr. D pointed out the various plants around us... yucca, smooth suimac, and thistle. | Know where your trail is with markers so you don't get lost at night going to the bathroom!! | But stay on the trail because there are cactus out there all over the place! |

There are pallets on the rocks for semi-level sleeping areas. Will sleep 15 the advertisments say... hummm... we'll see! | There is a running stream that comes out of the rock which makes the creek in the main cave... it runs all the time! | We saw a really cool bike... 1/2 motorcycle, 1/2 VW Bug. |
