Took this hike with my six year old. I miscalculated and the park was full to capacity when we arrived; however, the camp host let us camp friday night in the hiker/biker camp. It was a nice area away from most the big RV's. Good thing I always pack light though since we had to carry all our supplies into the camp from the parkinglot.....only a few hundred yards away. The next morning we broke camp and headed out. We started on the Siphon Draw Trailhead in the southwest corner of the park, then cut to the east on the prospectors view trail. This trail meanders along the base of the mountain before meeting up with the trail #56 (i forget the name). We took the furthest east section of this trail which leads back towards the park. About midway down we took a left turn to on the jacobs crisscut trail which took us back to the siphon draw trail. The whole trek was probably only a few miles but my six year old was wiped out. Next time we'll have to try out the siphon draw trail and try to get to the top.
