I recently visited the City of Rocks Backcountry and was mesmerized by the unique and intriguing rock formations. The area consists of a vast expanse of towering spires, pinnacles, and balanced rocks sculpted by the forces of nature over millions of years. The geological history of the area is fascinating. The rocks are composed of granite, which was formed over 2.5 billion years ago, making them some of the oldest rocks in North America. The formations are also home to various plant and animal species, including the rare peregrine falcon. Exploring the area was a unique experience, and I compared the formations to those I have encountered in other parts of the world. City Of Rocks Backcountry is definitely on my list of unforgettable places!
