Looking a little better.
Now there's a campsite!
However, we brought only a tent, sleeping bags and 2 pillows. Duh! City of Rocks, not Lush Green Grass and Soft Sand . . . A sleepless night trying to get comfortable, but we still had a great time.
The park consists of large sculpturedrock formationsin the shape of pinnacles or boulders rising as high as 40 feet, formed by volcanic eruptions and then eroded over millions of years.
Throughout the park are placards with information on the planets and various solar systems. The night we were there they had a star party and we got to look through a telescope at Mars, Jupiter and Venus as well as 2 galaxies of millions of stars.
There is a 3.5 mile hiking trail that starts at the botanical garden
and ends at the top of the Hill overlooking the Park.
You can also hike amongst the rock formations
Tucson really liked camping and was king of the hill!
Till Later!
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
