Quiet, peaceful, beautiful landscape and loads of wild animals. With so much to enjoy we decided to stay a few more days. Also, bonus, it’s free!

A person working at the only thriving business in town, namely the gas station/convenience store, told us there are camels in the area. Randomly, the owner of the camels was there at the same time and told us where exactly to go and see them. He rescued these two hump camels from zoos, circuses, etc.

The visitor center is open today. we spent some time chatting with a park employee who told us where to look for hawks. We had fun driving around seeing what follows.
