Page Background IntervalWorld.com INTERVAL WORLD Spring 2016 43 What you’ll see: Nearly 2,000 acres of otherworldly landscape created by volcanic eruptions, tectonic shifting, and subsequent flooding and draining that all occurred over the course of tens of millions of years. The end result is a labyrinthine system of rock fins, slot canyons, and cave-like structures. Take it easy: This is the desert, so it’s going to be hot during the day. Pack a lunch and enjoy the view of the surrounding bentonite clay formations from the relative comfort of the shaded picnic area. Work up a sweat: At just 3 miles, the Juniper Draw Loop isn’t very long, but it will get you away from the main areas so you can enjoy more remote sections of the park. If you have time, add a 1-mile jaunt to Miller Point. Don’t miss: The chance to spot animal tracks, either in the sand or, especially after a rainstorm, imprinted in the soft clay stone. Resident wildlife includes black-tailed jackrabbits, cottontail rabbits, coyotes, foxes, and mule deer.
