Exploring the City of Rocks

The City of Rocks during a partly cloudy day.

Introduction

A day at the rocks

I spent a summer day exploring the City of Rocks National Reserve with a few friends. The goal was mostly to capture the landscape, though we couldn’t help but notice some climbers tackling the formations while we wandered around. The mix of sunny and cloudy skies made for some interesting light throughout the day.

Plenty to take in

There’s so much happening at the City of Rocks; every angle shows something different. My favorite shot ended up being the climbers, though I wish I could have gotten a bit closer. Overall, the day was much more relaxing than my usual trips, and it was nice to just explore and take in the scenery while shooting.
