Highlights

▶ Camp literally inside 60-ft granite spires and monoliths — campsite walls are towering rock formations; sunset light turns everything amber
▶ California Trail historic site — wagon ruts and axle-grease inscriptions from 1840s emigrants visible on rocks adjacent to camp
▶ 600+ rock climbing routes (beginner to 5.13) launch directly from the campground perimeter
