Absolutely gorgeous park. Water is so refreshing in this unbearable heat. Only negative Restrooms are extremely hot..you sweat your butt off right after taking a hot shower..water does not cool off.

The camping and bathroom facilities are very nice. It was very hot here in May, but the river was clean, cool, and refreshing! It's an amazing spot where a cool ribbon of river cuts through a hot red-rock desert.

Beautiful location, right on the river. Park was clean and well taken care of. One thing to note is cell service is spotty and park wifi does not reach far.
