park and surrounding area are known for its unique geological
significance, outstanding and varied desert growth, and
historical importance. The unique shape has been used as a
landmark by travelers since prehistoric times. One of the first
recordings was in the 1700s by the Anza Expedition as it
passed through the area.

a gift store, hiking trails, playground, historical markers,
campground (with or without electric), picnic areas, ramadas,
grills, dump station, restrooms, and showers. The group use
areas, for day & overnight use, are available by reservation.
