Hole in the rock is located inside Papago park. There is plenty of parking right at the start of the trail. It is a very easy hike. Trail is about 5 to 10 minutes depending on your pace and not difficult for kids.bit wasn't crowded when we went in the middle of day. There are places inside the stone where you can just sit and enjoy the view. The breeze and shade is very nice up top. Great photo opportunity. It can be a very quick visit after you get to the top or you stay as long as you like. There are several covered areas below with grills if you wanted to have a picnic. You have to go at least once .
