We followed the Emigrant Trail into City of Rocks, in the footsteps of over a quarter of a million people in the mid-1800's. This trail will be part of the 4-day City of Rocks Pioneer Trails Endurance Ride in July. Here are a few photos from today's 20 mile loop that we did.

Jose and me, Judy and Malaysia, at Camp Rock. Emigrants used to camp around this rock in the central part of the park (it wasn't a park then, but a very popular stopping point) and park a wagon or two in this cubbyhole of this granite monster
Many more photos and stories (and videos to come!), and plenty of info on next month's ride, if you're planning to come! at:
Now this trail I'd like to see! You keep posting "temptation"! Jose looks Great!
ReplyDeletelooks like a very cool trail with lots to look at
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely long trails to ride. Hard to go that far around here without hitting a road, someone's back yard, or....a warehouse. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun ride with lots of history attached.
ReplyDeleteSo sad to be missing this one. I bet it is going to be amazing! Still have you on my calendar for the fall.
