City of Rocks is a celebrated geological and historic site in south-central Idaho, characterized by tall granite spires, natural arches, and historic pioneer routes. Originally a Native American crossing and later a key waypoint on the California Trail, it is now a shared public area managed for climbing, hiking, and historical recreation. Visitors come to scramble over granite domes, follow multi-pitch sport routes, and experience the vast desert views from overlooks and trails. Nearby features include Hansen and passes that link to the high Idaho plateaus, making it a natural stop for multi-day routes and day trips alike.
