Little City of Rocks View | Southern Idaho Landscape Fine Art Print

from $75.00

Horizontal orientation. Images include an optional barn wood frame created by the photographer, making this print truly unique and one-of-a-kind. Available also as a print only, in three optional sizes and materials.

Little City of Rocks, about 10 miles north of Gooding, is sometimes confused with City of Rocks National Reserve on the Southern border of Idaho, but the locations and rock formations are quite different. In many areas the rock columns stand in rows, looking like tall city buildings. Those seen in this image form rows on the hilltop, looking almost as though they were pieces on a chess board. I hiked up the hill to touch one of the columns, and it is much steeper and more massive than it appears from a distance. In the early spring as the snow melts, there is quite a lot of water flowing down the creek bed running near the flowers in this image, but by May it is usually dry. However, the moisture gave rise to thousands of Arrow leaf Balsamroot flowers, sometimes lining the creek bed in enormous groups. The flowers made this visit a very pleasant one, since the previous time I had come out to hike, everything was long since dead and dried up in the summer heat. It is a very pleasant place to visit in early spring, and I loved being able to finally capture the fantastic rock columns in that spot along the trail.
