Devils Garden — Attraction in Four Corners States

Backcountry requires permit from the office.

Decent amound of rock scrambling. Some parts marked by cairns (do not knock down cairns). Some areas you may find an arrow scrawled somewhere when the path gets confusing. Take your time, take plenty of water, the views and experience is worth it.

Take good shoes with ankle support. Map. It's not a far hike but no cell service, recommend plb. Hot, no streams or readily available water source. No fires allowed.

You camp on the rock fins. Before you go, practice rock anchoring and dog boning. This area had very strong bursts of wind.

The moonlight is so bright, and so.many stars visible. It's breathtaking.

Be patient and again, be okay with small stints of no path markers. There were minutes I got a little scared, but we made it just fine, and I'll...

In June 2017, my wife and I decided to hike within this truly awesome place. I would highly recommend hiking here as well, but be forewarned, you absolutely must be prepared for the extremely dry air and the 95-105 degrees F that hit by 10:30-11:00 a.m.

We did most of the loop, took many photos and it was a truly amazing experience. The many arches, the general scenery (and the wildlife) made this a very special experience. When we got back to our car at 11:00 a.m. the temperature was...

My wife and I loved the Devils Garden. We only had one complaint, and it's a very minor one. The road in was a b*h. It's about 9-10 miles from highway to the Devils Garden turn, but this drive took us nearly an hour. We drove it in a heavy duty full size pickup, so the vehicle has pretty stiff suspension. 20mph was pretty much our top speed, though average was far slower. It was obvious that someone has driven this road soon after rain, and they tore it up a bit. People, please stay off these roads after a rain. The washboards are almost continuous and BAD! It would be nice if the road could be graded. But the scenery here was awesome! The name...
