Things to do:
As with most National Parks, there is so much to do in this park. Hiking, biking, photography, and all sorts of outdoors activities.
This is a park centered around history. Native American petroglyphs are spread throughout the grounds of this park, and is a focus. Protection of these lands and petroglyphs is very important so that we can pass them on to our children.
This is also a natural park. Aside from the lands with the petroglyphs, the park has land to the west of town with volcanos to explore.
