City of Rocks State Park - New Mexico

Last year our friends Art and Janey Armstrong visited this State Park and were totally intrigued by it and needless to say recommended it as a must place to visit. We decided to visit for the weekend and it was everything they said, however they did not experience the 40 mph plus wind gusts and cool weather we did. Unfortunately, we stayed inside the motorhome most of the day but did do some walking when the winds died down a little.
This place is really unique, the rock formations are something to behold.

While we were there a group of boyscouts was camped nearby and it was great fun to watch them scurrying about and hiding from one another in all the formations.The vistas of the surrounding area and the sunsets were great also.While the weather wasn’t the best, the place was everything the Armstrong’s had recommended.
However it is isolated enough that a days visit is probably better that a whole weekend.
