City of Rocks is a New Mexico State Park in the southern portion of the state 35 miles north of Deming. We camped here to enable the visit to Gila Cliff Dwellings but it is unique as well. There are, we were told, six places in the world where rocks appear like this. Here they are placed in close proximity and scattered over  a half mile of desert. Many of them more than 40 feet tall you can see quickly why people saw this like a city and it is easy to get lost in the maze too. We enjoyed a walk among the rocks, though no bagel shops no coffee shops and no ice cream, not much of a city.
