HIKING: City of Rocks National Reserve

← NV SUSIE CK CARLIN NV Triple Blaze →

Description

To venture into City of Rocks is to enter a world of slowly changing granite surrounded by high desert flora and<br />
fauna. Access to many or most parts of the reserve is found through 22.4 miles of trail. Many sections of trail<br />
pass through fragile soils. Help preserve City of Rocks by using designated trails and leaving natural features as<br />
you find them. Many of the trails are rocky and traverse steep terrain. Snow may cover some trails until mid-May.<br />
Check with a ranger or visitor center personnel prior to entering the backcountry for latest conditions.
