This State Park is North and East of Deming. To get there, take highway 180 North to the Faywood turn off, NM 61. From there, go East until you get to the entrance to the park.
What you will see there today measures it's existence in millions of years.
Over the last 30 million years, these mysterious rocks were wind-carved and rain worn, sculpted into outlandish streets and houses, temples and towers, some so improbable they could as well be the figments of an exploding dream.
Man has been there also.
Shards of pottery and arrowheads have been found there (and continue to be found today).
Spanish Conquistadors carved mysterious crosses on the rocks, signs, some say, which may point to a long buried treasure.
Every city has its legends.
Explore her streets at will.
Have fun!
Rejoice in the park's severe, relentless beauty.
