We did the cholla hike today , made it to the top and was worth going. The view that you have from there is wonderful. People where friendly, you just have to realize that some people are tired and don't have they're mind on saluting. If you go for the first time you need water 1.5 liter [3 bottles] where 1 is extra,good shoes and don't do it all the way if you feel tired, you will be able to do it again. . is ok to stop and relax don't rush ur self. I WILL DO IT AGAIN.
