  Gorgeous! If you're here, you gotta go! Free to get in and hike. There's a road that circles around that let's u see pretty much everything. Some places (like Siamese Twins) require a short hike. Welcome center has a ton of info. There's also guided horse and jeep tours (for a price). There IS a free guided walking tour (tip the guy, will ya). Staff at the welcome ctr can tell u when and where. All the trails are on Google maps, but cellular data is weak so download it before you get to the park. (Google it if u don't know about offline maps...) There are bathrooms spread out in the park, but parking areas are small and fill up. You might have to drive around a few times to find someone leaving. Bring water, sunscreen, hats, and definitely a camera! Climbing is not allowed without a permit, although there were plenty of "rule breakers" getting in the way of the perfect picture... We spent about 4 hours and loved every minute, but if u are pressed for time u can drive around and use the pull-offs to grab a few quick shots.
