We came for a hike on a Wednesday morning around 10:30am. There was a fair number of hikers but it was not crowded. You have to park on the Main Street as you are not allowed to park on the Cholla trail road.
Be sure to have lots of water and use the washroom before you arrive. We are novice hikers so I found the trail challenging. I made it to 0.71mi Mark.....half way point. My hubby and son made it to 1.21mi but then it was very steep and they didn't have enough water to continue.
The climb was very rocky and steep at points...though experienced people were running it!!
A fun day!
