Devils Garden Sign
Devil's Garden seems to be an often overlooked gem. A short side trip from the Hole in the Rock road leads to a unique landscape of hoodoos and arches. This is one not to miss if you're in the area. Essentially a roadside attraction, visiting should be accessible to move everyone. A picnic area and pit toilet make this a good spot to have a family picnic.

Route
From the parking area, an information sign describes the formations. Short, well traveled dirt trails lead in and around the various towers and hoodoos. Several arches and unique colors lend themselves to great photographs. This is a fun place for photographers, kids, or those that are kids at heart.
