City of Rocks

Sunday, after church, we drove south of Burley to City of Rocks. The California pioneers went through this valley and thought the rocks looked like an old abandoned city, thus the name. Its a beautiful valley, but very rugged!
Some of the rocks with the snowy peaks behind. We had rain this past week, but it snowed on top of the hills. Sunday we had 80 degrees! I love Spring weather -- if you don't like it, wait 5 minutes, it will change!

Kate and Jenn and I went on a hike into the rocks to see the valley. Got a good look at some of the rocks. There were lots of climbers all over the place. They like to climb the bigger rocks.


This was taken from the trail Jenn and Kate and I went on. While we were doing this the boys walked around a big rock.



We weren't sure if this was graffiti or markings with axle grease that were done by pioneers. It was a really neat afternoon. We found a campsite and had a picnic and then walked around the park.

Very fun! You are near our neck of the woods. We have had friends climb rocks there. Yes, those are marking left by pioneers. Neat!
