There is a decent parking lot at the trailhead for Palm Canyon and three information boards on how the area was shaped over millions of years. In a red metal box, you will find guide leaflets for the trail leading into the canyon and to the palm trees. Moreover, there is a designated small camp area next to the trailhead with spot for about four small tents. No shade, no water and no pit toilets. It is as primitive, as it gets, but nestled into a fantastic scenery!

Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park in Arizona preserves a notorious 19th-century prison. Established in 1876, it housed over 3,000 inmates in its 33-year history and was known for harsh conditions. Visitors can tour cellblocks, the guard tower, and museum exhibits detailing prison life. The park offers insights into the Old West's justice system and Arizona's frontier history in late 19th and early 20th centuries, making it a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts.
