Strenuous going up and moderate coming down. Trailhead and turnaround junction have signs and there are mileage post along the way. There are many minor trails off the main trail. There's a gas station 0.4 mile south of trailhead on the left on the other side of Highway 118.
Parking is in pullouts along the road.
From the trailhead kiosk, head downhill and take the first right back toward Highway 118. The trail crosses over an old rock and cement dam. Bear right at the first junction and head uphill. Follow the switchbacks up 1 mile to the sandstone sculpted caves and rock formations. After the caves, bear left at another minor trail junction.
