Rather than hitting the trails, take a scenic driving tour. Be sure to pull over at some of the roadside overlooks to enjoy views of the canyon. Spot a few points of interest from your vehicle including the Longhorn Pasture, CCC Overlook, El Coronado Lodge, the CCC Fireplace, and the Big Cave. Contact the park for the best driving routes.
