We opted to take four days to get to Mesa so we stopped early on Tuesday at City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico. As we drove over the hill towards to park entrance we saw how the park got its name.
Look close on the left & you will see our RV parked right up against the rocks.
Once we got the RV nestled up against a rock we explored the area some before supper. The night sky was gloriously full of stars, the air clear and cool and the night sounds lulled us to sleep. Wednesday morning found us geared up for a 5 mile hike around the perimeter of the rock formations in dry, winter desert.
Towards the end of the hike we decided to shower and then move on down the road a ways to Roper State Park in Arizona so we would have a short drive into Mesa on Thursday. We have stayed at Roper before. It's located on a small lake stocked with trout, has a couple of hiking trails and a natural hot spring spa.
We arrived at Val Vista Village shortly after lunch. The first order of business will be to wash the RV!
