A stunning area for volcanic rock formations. The park is located in the scenic Chihuahuan desert region of Southwest NM. The “city” is a geologic formation made up of large, sculptured rock columns, or pinnacles, rising as high as 40 feet and separated by paths or lanes resembling city streets. These rocks were formed when a very large volcano erupted. Located about halfway between Silver City and Deming, City of Rocks offers camp sites, hiking trails, excellent mountain biking, wildlife viewing, birding, stargazing, picnic areas and a desert botanical garden.

Located in Faywood area (toward Deming on Hwy 61). Pretty drive through the lower Mimbres Valley. Also makes for a nice stop while on the winery tour (La Esperanza Winery --> Luna Rossa Winery --> D.H. Lescombes Winery)
Beautiful to see, and a great playground for the kids (great photo op, too!)! Part of the dark sky community, also. Once a month they bring out the big telescope!
