A rock climbing place known around the world, a pleasant rest stop for travelers along the California Trail, an area that has its own energy and ethereal beauty. All of this describes the City of Rocks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traveling from Oregon to Utah, Darrin looked at the map, found the cool name City of Rocks, and declared we needed to stop there. Five nights later, we finally left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pictures do not in any way represent the majestic otherworldly spirit of this place. They are a mere human representation of Mother Nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems almost sacrilegious of man to dare climb, but how can he not when presented with such a challenge?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
