The main views and close up trails to the actual red rocks are in the first few stops along the trail. Make sure you spend ample time at the parts of the map with calico in it! Or, to beat the crowd, drive past the tiny 2nd stop and instead of waiting around for parking, go straight to Calico Hills then walk backwards on the trail (south east).

(And Google Maps does not have correct closing time, which varies by season.)…

It was amazingly beautiful. 13 miles of scenery. I was hopeful that we would see horses as they had signs stating to be careful but didn’t. Definitely worth the drive and 17 dollars. We spent roughly a couple hours just driving and stopping through to take pics.
