Off season overnight stay

Kathryn at the desk was awesome. We arrived around 3:30 after driving 375 miles. Didn’t utilized the park amenities. The pool and hot tub looked very inviting. Not much to see around Desert Center but the oasis created here was definitely worth the stop. Will reserve for our return in November

Fun experience

There was a lot of space all along the side of the road. It’s very beautiful at the top and a few trails to walk around. When we were there, the caterpillars were migrating and a couple were in the dirt. They were so cute!
