Long pants are recommended. Although the grounds are fenced, a variety of animals are still present. Be cautious of the desert wildlife. Please contact the Himdag Ki: staff if you see an animal behaving strangely or observe poisonous snakes, gila monsters, bee swarms, or other animals.

Visitors are warned not to attempt to drive through flooded roads or washes as the water flows fast enough to float and overturn vehicles. Wait until the waters have subsided before fording washes.
