• Viewpoints: during the tour you will pass several viewpoints from where you will be able to take some spectacular photos. Don't forget to carry your mobile phone or camera.
• Petroglyphs: in many areas of the desert you will see animal and human figures carved into the rock. Their authors were the Native Americans who inhabited the area.

In addition to these attractions, with a bit of luck you will also be able to see some of the animals that live in this arid region: wild donkeys, wild horses, desert tortoises and coyotes, among others.
