The
picnic area, located near the visitor center, is open during daylight hours
only. There are 25 sites located beneath the trees, two ramadas, and several
water faucets and fountains. Restrooms are accessible to persons in wheelchairs,
and the area is relatively level. Outdoor grills are provided for cooking
fires. Visitors need to bring their own charcoal or wood, as no wood gathering
is allowed within National Parks. There are no overnight camping facilities.
The
Memorial is open for day use only, therefore camping is not allowed. Plan
to end your activities by dusk. Fires are permitted only in grills in the
picnic area, but may not be permitted at all during extremely dry periods.
Hunting, woodcutting, and gathering of minerals and vegetation are prohibited.
Pets should never be left unattended in vehicles, and must be kept on a
leash. Mild temperatures and low humidity provide pleasant opportunity
in all seasons. When outdoors, provide yourself with plenty of water, and
protect yourself from the sun.
