The City of
Rocks is not only a great rock climbing area, but is steeped
in history as well. Over 250,000 gold-seekers, farmers,
and their families traveling over the California Trail in
the 1840's and 1850's. The City of Rocks was one of
their favorite places to stop and rest. About 30
miles to the northeast at a place called "Decision
Point", they had to decide if they were going to Oregon or
California . For an interesting cache see
