Drive to Hole in the Rock mere 15 minutes before sunset - should have come earlier if only to take it all in for longer. There are a few (free) parking lots along the road leading up to the "trail" head, and we parked at the closest one (surprisingly there was space so close to sunset). The walk up the path was very easy, I was just wearing regular sneakers. There are stone steps leading from the entrance of the hole down to the center, so easy to enter inside as well. From below it looked like there was a big crowd in there and we thought we wouldn't be able to go inside, but upon getting to the entrance we realized the space was bigger than it seemed and there was plenty of room for the 3 of us to find a spot. The further up into the crevasse you go the more slippery it got so we stayed near the middle which still gave us an amazing view as the sun quickly dipped below the horizon. The colors of the clouds were beautiful and changed from minute to minute. We stayed until dark. There's something lovely about a large group of strangers gathered together in an alcove in a rock to watch the sunset.
