The hiking trail starts amidst colorful sandstone formations and beautiful Joshua trees. The site contains various petroglyphs and panels, with one large monolith called "Calvin's Rock" covered in petroglyphs. There's a loop that offers different routes to explore the site, including a tunnel leading to the Falling Man petroglyph, where the figure appears to be holding a bright ball. The loop continues to other areas with impressive panels, including one with a rainbow and other interesting depictions.
