Red Rock Park,
with elevation from 6600 to 7000 feet and encompassing 640 acres, has large
campground equipped with electrical and water hookups, picnic areas, restrooms
and showers.
The spectacular red cliffs which frame the Park on three sides began
formation 205 million years ago, during the Mesozoic era, sometimes referred
to as the Age of the Dinosaurs.
Several archeological sites in the Park record the presence of the
Anasazi, a prehistoric farming culture which developed and persisted in
the area from A.D. 300 to 1200. From 1700 to the present, the region has
been sparsely inhabited by the Navajo Indians.
