City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico

A "family" of pinnacles stand as still as stone while having their portrait taken in City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico.

In southern New Mexico, there is a natural volcanic art exhibit in the high Chihuahuan desert. And, this volcanic fairyland is the very photogenic City of Rocks State Park. Here, erosion has revealed a city of pinacles and towers of volcanic rock in a slight depression in the Mimbres River valley.

Kasha-Katuwe Photographs

A view looking up at some of the tent-like formation eroded out of layers of ash, pumice, and tuff deposited by the eruptions of the Jemez volcanic field at Kashe-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument.

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument is a fantasy land for photographers. This is because hundreds of beautiful white and pink hoodoos appear to be marching out of the rock face. And, amongst these hoodoos runs a trail that provides breath-taking views in every direction.
