City of Rocks is an entirely different type of weird from Craters of the Moon. Here, they're not growing lava, but - huge boulders, spaced out randomly across the valleys. We saw more people rock climbing here than I've ever seen doing that before, probably collectively - every large rock where it was allowed had multiple climbers.
But even more fascinating - at least to me - were the signs of the California Trail present on the (dirt) road through the park; it wasn't difficult to picture wagons passing through.
On the way to City of Rocks we saw a coyote at the side of the road - the second most interesting wildlife of the trip.
