We love this place. You can take a tram up the canyon or hike one of the many trails. We find cool swimming holes in the summer after the rains. The love I have for this beautiful place runs deep and generations back. Go into the visitor center, get a map and some advice on what to do. A run/walk at sunset up and the main road in the evening (after the tram stops for the day) is a Local favorite and something I always bring my out of town friends to.

Hike to water and amazing views at sunset! I don't hike all the way in with my younger kids. But its still worth a shorter hike to get a good view of the Tanque Verde Valley if you stop halfway!
