Wonderful..must visit

Such a wonderful surprise ending up here. We were at Picture Canyon particularly. We were 100% alone until a college showed up and ending up annoying us at first but then we had a blast with them. There is some really cool hiking here and some awesome petroglyphs, i think there was a vault toilet but that was about it. The stars here were ridiculous. Less known park but the drive out beautiful and there was known there.
