About City of Rocks State Park

Sculptured rock formations rise abruptly from the desert floor here, some pinnacles and boulders reaching as high as 40 feet. These stone shapes give the park its name and form the main feature of the landscape, offering visitors a chance to walk among towering rock clusters rather than open plains or forest.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
