A relaxing day or adventurous trip
I really enjoy visiting this area. Corn Creek is an oasis in the desert that provides a nice walk and plenty of wildlife. There is also a picnic area right up the rode that is shaded and perfect for a gathering of friends and family. Any vehicle can reach this area. If you are more adventurous, there are numerous rodes leading up into the mountains with campsites and a picnic area. Four wheel drive is strongly recommended for this part. A lot of wildlife and beautiful scenery.
