This was my last hike on Friday. Parked at the Broken Arrow TH. Getting back to the TH on the dirt road is a little worrisome. The dirt road is very rough, but luckily you don't need to go very far to get there. It is doable for a low clearance car. Got on the trail right around 2:30 and I was met with the sounds of drums - think Indian drums - coming from the hills. Kind of ironic because the name Broken Arrow makes me think of the classic western starring James Stewart. :) This trail is all about the rock monoliths and unfortunately the ability to drive your vehicles all over them. 3pm is a busy time. I saw almost as many vehicles (pink jeeps, SUV's, ATV's) as I did hikers. Definitely a detraction and something that I will remember and plan for the next time I hike in the area. Enjoyed the Devil's Dining Room. Though it would have been nice to see deeper in the hole. I wasn't aware that was part of the "trail experience" until the trail went by the fenced area. Chicken Point looked very nice. But when I arrived, there were already 3 Pink Jeeps and a SUV parked there with 25 people milling about. Very nice short trail, but beating the crowds (vehicles) would have made it much more enjoyable.
