City of Rocks National Reserve is an extraordinary encirclement of granite rising out of the gently rolling sagebrush country in south-central Idaho. This remarkable landscape has attracted and intrigued people since they first entered this region. The Shoshone camped here as did the emigrants traveling along the California Trail, marveling at the fascinating results of erosion on the rocks. The great variety of textures, colors and shapes in the natural landscape contributes considerably to the reserve's scenic quality. The cotton candy clouds are just a bonus.
