At Newspaper Rock, discover centuries of petroglyphs left by ancestral Puebloans and settlers. Then, follow the road through Indian Creek's towering cliffs and past the historic Dugout Ranch, a symbol of cowboy heritage and conservation.

Spot the iconic Sixshooter Peaks on the horizon before reaching the vast views of Lockhart Basin. Stop at Needles Outpost for supplies before entering the park through the Needles Entrance and Visitor Center.

At Cave Springs, walk past cowboy relics and ancient pictographs, then visit the nearby Cave Springs Trailhead with its hidden springs. Gaze at the whimsical Wooden Shoe Overlook, a rock formation shaped like a giant shoe.

Pass by Needles Campground, a peaceful spot for stargazing, then explore the fascinating pools of Pothole Point. Those seeking more adventure can take the scenic Slickrock Trail, offering sweeping canyon views.
