Las únicas instalaciones que encontrarán son la zona de recreación Echo Canyon, una zona interpretiva y algunos senderos. La vida silvestre del desierto abunda; seguramente verán algunos animales pequeños, como serpientes, lagartijas y ardillas antílopes de sonora, además de una gran variedad de pájaros. La entrada es gratuita. Visiten el sitio web para conseguir mapas de los senderos y más información del lugar.
