Review:
Rockhound State Park is a lovely state park located approximately seven miles outside the city of Deming, named in honor of the abundance of unique historic minerals and rocks throughout the region. The park, which is located within the gorgeous Little Florida Mountains, is a prime spot for rock collectors in the area, stocked with beautiful deposits of quartz crystals, jasper, perlite, and geodoes. Stunning rugged mountain slopes showcase unique geology and picturesque patches of wildflowers, particularly in the park's Spring Canyon unit, which serves as a popular spot for cliff hiking. A quaint campground offers primitive accommodations, while several day-use picnic sites provide places to rest and relax with lunch amidst the scenery.
