These photos were taken at the City of Rocks State Park in Faywood New Mexico. Faywood is located approximately 29 miles north of Deming NM We decided to take a weekend trip to a state park we've never been too before. Our trip took us and our A-Liner trailer and our little explorer puppy, Brady, with us.
We hiked to the top of Table Mountain for some exception views. I haven't posted the views from up there yet. But the camping area is quite fascinating. City of Rocks State Park is truly a geologic monument; it is formed by large sculptured rock columns (pinnacles) or boulders rising as high as 40 ft and separated by paths or lanes resembling city streets. About 34.9 million years ago a large volcano erupted, forming the rocks in an instant (geologically speaking); then erosion over millions of years slowly formed the sculptured columns that now provide a natural playground for children and adults alike. City of Rocks State Park was established in May 1952 to preserve this geologic wonder.
