Such a cool place to visit! We ate at the food truck. It was pretty expensive but not too awful taste wise.

Beautiful and about 20 degrees cooler than at the lower elevation of the desert (95°F) so this was a great place for hiking and bird watching. The scenery is incredible for sunrise and sunset.
