There are a variety of well-marked and mapped hikes, climbs, and bike paths. There is a lot of activity in the park, even after dark. I recommend driving through it, even if you're not interested in getting out to explore it on foot. Also, this is not a pristine, sterile public space.

I dedicated a full day to exploring the park and ended up hiking roughly 14 miles roundtrip from the visitor center to El Pinal Viewpoint.
