This is a picnic area(no facilities — but I’m sure there’s ways around that ;) if you REALLy have to…) that you can park and eat your take-out or whatever or just sit and rest your legs for a moment. Three separate picnic areas and I assume two picnic tables per area based on the one I hung out in. I went to the one north of the I8 just west of where the 84 meets I8 if you’re going west to Gila Bend and points beyond. There is a sister/mirror location just west of this on the south side of the I8 just the way they do with every rest stop on the I8. It’s pretty relaxing — you’re far enough in from the highway that you can chill, meditate or have a meal in peace while you rest. Probably much less an inviting option during the hot summer months even though there is shade. Still I always appreciate any type of rest stop after a long drive.
