About this park
Like a desert mirage, this National Natural Landmark rises out of the flat high desert. An enormous near-circle of towering, jagged rock walls looks like a fort, and hiking around reveals it is bigger than it looks. It is an old tuff ring set in what was a shallow sea in prehistoric times.
