City of Rocks State Park

We have read many reviews that City of Rocks State Park is a must see while in New Mexico.  To get to City of Rocks the drive is through typical desert land with a few rolling hills of desert.  We crested one of these hills and in the distance saw City of Rocks, sitting in the middle of a vast desert plain!  It was mesmerizing!We stayed 4 days at City of Rocks and loved it because each site is unique and very private from other RVs/campers.  Each site is nestled among the rocks that make up the state park.  There…
