This is the newest park in the US after being turned from a monument to a national park in 2003. Very few people know about it and hence it received very few visitors, which is a good reason for you to do it. It preserves ancient volcanic remnants and the fact that it is small in size means you can get to experience all of it in a day. It has beautiful trails that range from easy to treacherous, awing balanced boulders, bat inhabited caves and past serrated spires. If you go between March and May, then the experience will be intensified by the poppies and purple bush lupine than burst into bloom.
