The rock formations are very unique. Unlike anything I've never seen. There are giant stretches of the rock formation. There are some good hikes. The views at the top are breathtaking. You can also go camping here. An amazing place to come and see nature.

Love the beautiful colors of these rocks! Very impressed with what Mother Nature has created over time. Well worth the stop if you're ever passing through.

Absolutely gorgeous rock formations! It's right along SR 14, you cannot miss it. Plenty of parking on an unpaved road. Restrooms are available but there's a nicer (and cleaner) one with running water at the visitor's center on the other side of SR 14.

This place is surreal with limestone formations created by rain & wind. It is stunning with red and white sediment layers. You’ve never heard a place so quiet. Plenty of campsites with bathrooms and water. The view is stunning & you have to hike a bit to see even more of the park. Joshua trees thrive here. I highly recommend. Great place for star gazing.

Big red rocks. Visitor center very informative and a ridiculously low cost to enter. Make a donation to keep it going! Trails are clearly marked with a few little scaled friends popping in and out along the way. Get up high on the trail to see the majestic of natures’ work on the landscape. Weak-to-no cellular service, so know how to get in and out without relying on maps app… GPS obviously still works 😀

This a good spot to camp. It's not great due to extreme winds in the in the spring and especially with it being 25$ but it's still a very cool place. Take the short interpretive hike through the desert it's so unique my father and myself loved taking it. The visitor center is a highlight as well.

I recently visited Red Rock Canyon State Park in California and was blown away by the stunning red hills that dominate the landscape. The colors are so rich and vibrant, it's truly a unique sight to see. The best part is that the parking lot is conveniently located close to the actual trail, making it easy to enjoy a day trip from Los Angeles. If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor adventure, I highly recommend checking out Red Rock Canyon State Park.

It was more than a 2hrs drive for me to get to but I went on Christmas day and there were very little traffic. I went hiking with my dog and it was a pleasant day to do so. I was only hiking at the entrance area because dogs are not allowed on trails. Didn't drive further into where the camp ground was. I got there late in the afternoon so the sun was about to set. It's worth stopping by.
