The canyon is nestled in trees with rocky outcroppings, and it offers distant views of Saddle Mountain and the nearby deeper Buckskin Canyon. The base of it is formed from a dry creek, but it may have water in it at some times of the year. It is also home to an old cattle corral, that is still in use. Bears are known to wander the canyons, so that is possibly how it got its name of “Dangerous Park”.
