It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't done it what this is like. But, a hiker has recorded a video and captured much of what makes camping near the City of Rocks such an amazing experience.

I am always entertained when our friends go to the City of Rocks to do some climbing. I'm not brave enough to do it, so at least I can vicariously live through the adventures of others. I've just come across a guy's attempt at "bouldering" at the City of Rocks on YouTube. Then, gravity decided it had seen enough.
