First off it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced. It is so easy and well signed. When you gps the visitors center you pay only $7 to go through a gorgeous 13 mile scenic route. When it says scenic it means it. There are several stops you can stop and take photos and view gorgeous mountains, rock formations and views. There is also an ample amount of hiking trails at your leisure at every pull off. Bring plenty of water and supplies if you are planning on hiking. Bring water if you are even planning to pull off and walk down to take pics! There are bathrooms at pull offs but no running water. But hey it's the desert! Have fun and soak in the beauty
