City of Rocks State Park – Faywood, New Mexico

City of Rocks State Park was unique. As we drove into the park, it felt like we were visiting Fred and Barney in Bedrock. These rock formations are in the middle of nowhere. Each campsite was nestled among the crooks and crannies of the rock formations. The rangers tried to maintain the ambiance of the formations as rock vestibules hid the trash cans.

The wind was strong on the first day there, and navigating the park was interesting. There were sites where you could barely know there were campers, as they were hidden among the rocks. We rode to Silver City at 3:00 pm but got there too late, as many of the stores were closed. It still is the off-season for them.

The Table Mountain trail was an excellent hike to the top of the mountain. We didn’t realize how high we climbed until we looked down and saw that our 5th wheel was a tiny speck among the rocks. We were fortunate to choose a day when the weather was calm, and the wind was at bay. We were glad we found this hidden gem in the middle of nowhere.
