Just beyond the parking area, near the foot of the old Serpents Trail, a
road turns left to a larger parking area for the Devils Kitchen Picnic
Area, where covered tables, grills, and water are available. Just beyond
we pass the checking station and housing facilities for Monument
personnel at the East Entrance of the Monument. During the summer, fees
are collected at this checking station from persons entering the
Monument. A well just east of the housing area obtains water from the
Entrada Sandstone to supply the houses and picnic area.
