I took a little trip this weekend and one of the places I went was called City of Rocks. The next set of pictures I am going to post will be about the rocks and all that rocks have to offer a photographer.
Numerous treasures are said to be hidden along the granite spires, sculptured boulders, and canyons of the City of Rocks National Reserve. Hundreds of thousands of people passed through here on their way westward, especially after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California.
Among these hardy pioneers were travelers of the Oregon and California Trails, and later thousands of prospectors when gold was discovered in northern Idaho and Montana. Though the City of Rocks Reserve is off the beaten path and rather isolated today, it was once a busy crossroads of the northern trails from the 1840’s through the 1890’s.
Need to unpack so back later to catch up on commenting.
