Tuff towers of City of Rocks

Fig. 1Tuff towers of City of Rocks

Landform

Tuff towers on a grassland. A small stone city, not the Idaho reserve — Kneeling Nun tuff weathered into streets.

Field note

The towers are welded tuff from a caldera to the north. Paths run between them like alleys. It is a state park and still feels like a secret on a weekday.
