If you can get over that, the majestic views of phenomenal prehistoric rock formations and super desert flora will take your breath away.

History

Rumor has it that during the 1600s, Spanish Padres seeking to convert natives and Spanish military explorers seeking gold and silver traversed this area. Their main concern in this God-forsaken land was to find water. This trail was then established and over the years evolved into a trail mostly for prospectors, outlaws, and settlers.
