| Hikers have to "register" before hiking the trails because of the extreme heat. Hikers have to put part of the registration paper on the dashboard of their vehicle to let the park rangers know they are on the trail. |

| This is a fossil "shrimp burrow" in the sandstone on the top of the mesa from a time when this whole area was a shallow ocean. |
