Traveler advice
What to pack
Always bring water.
It is generally hot and dry and it's easy to get dehydrated. We have a hard shelled cooler, soft cooler and small fabric cooler for your use, as well as many insulated cups.
Getting around
It's the Desert
Please be careful and always watch your step. Rattlesnakes are not something you want to see up close. Rattlesnakes have a triangular head.... and a rattle.
Javelina and coyote's wander about. If they get too close, make a lot of noise and they will run away.
