As fantastically beautiful a place as I have ever seen," said one of  its first tourists in the late 1800s, a young rancher named Teddy  Roosevelt. Medicine Rocks State Park is a treasure—full of history,  culture and unique topography—and is listed on the National Register of  Historic Places.

Weathering has given the soft sandstone rock formations a Swiss  cheese look providing a fascinating landscape filled with meaning and  serenity. Visitors can witness thousands of inscriptions on the  sandstone pillars dating back centuries.

Enjoy photography, hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, picnicking and camping in this remote state park. 

The park is also a haven for mule deer, antelope, woodhouse's toads, and sharp tailed grouse.

There are 12 campsites that are available on a first come, first served basis.

Park size 330 acres. Elevation: 3,379 feet.
