From Susan Osborne on 08/08/2010

it was very interesting!! excellent view, and overall a nice place to go!


From Ashley on 03/10/2010

small, unkept park, low funding i think, worth the visit because it is so unique. tie this in on a cool spring or fall day with alabaster caverns but don't go in the heat of the summer, there is no natural shade at this park and the red dirt doesn't help that situation. definetly stop to take a look around at the gpsym rock scattered everywhere.
