The trail earns its name from the rock formations that take the form of praying hands, inviting you to take a closer look and appreciate the intricate details of the rock formation.

Hiking

Great hike wear good shoes and bring lots and lots of water. I recommend going in the early mornings to avoid the extreme heat of the day.
