City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico, USA, is a fascinating geological wonder known for its unique rock formations, which were formed by volcanic activity around 34.9 million years ago. The park covers approximately one square mile and features towering pinnacles and monolithic rock structures that resemble a city skyline, hence its name. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities including hiking, rock climbing, bird watching, and stargazing, thanks to the park's remote location and dark skies.
