| - Getting here wasn't easy for none local people.
I followed the GPS heading north on N Galvin Pkwy and it said the destination is on your right! Didn't see it, so kept driving passing it for a mile or two...took the long way ended at University ave and finally backed to 202 and back to the same N Galvin pkwy again..
I saw that rock when driving but did not see the hole and wasn't expect it to be the one.
Since there's no sign telling you where to turn. here's the direction:
Traveling on N Galvin Pkwy heading north, turn right into the Papago park. Make the first left turn and follow the road. You will drive through the small parking lot where is exact beneath the hole in the rock. (One way)
If this parking filled up, keep driving you will hit another parking lot. Or you can park at the zoo parking lot and walk. The road connects zoo parking lot and loop to the hole in the rock was blocked by the gate.
Once you get to the parking lot, you will see a sign and the trail started right after the sign. Once you started the trail, there's a shortcut on your left but either way, it's short. It won't take more than 5 mins.
I really don't think the view is any spectacular.
The view from the hole is basically...parking lot..yup I can see where my car is.
even I got there in time for sunset, I still don't think this is anything amazing that a MUST SEE.
My friend went on a bus tour and the tour took them here too, I get it, it's free and it's easy access for almost all ages. If I have to pay entrance fee to see this...I would def very angry and think it's a tourist trap.
If you have ever seen those red rock formations at Snow Canyon, UT, Valley of Fire, NV (those two are just State Park, not even National park)...this place is really....just a rock w a hole in the backyard.
