Interpretive programs are available from March through November. Evening programs are presented at the Campground Amphitheater. Short talks and guided walks are also given. Check the schedule at the Visitor Center for specific times and places.
Trails vary in degree of difficultly.
The Echo Canyon Trail and the Heart of Rocks Trail offer spectacular views of balanced rocks, spires and pinnacles. A picturesque pioneer homestead, the Faraway Ranch, offers daily tours of the house and a chance to learn about the Swedish immigrant family that was one of the first to settle in the area. One can view animals and birds not seen outside the desert southwest.
