News Releases

November 16, 2009 

The Elba-Almo Road, which has been undergoing reconstruction for several years, is now complete. The road meets state of Idaho standards and is safe and suitable for all RV's and trailers.

The visitor center is open weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except winter holidays. The Reserve is open year-round, although some roads may be impassable due to snow.

Lodging, dining, camping supplies, gasoline, diesel, ATM, and internet service are locally available; however, most businesses have reduced their hours of operation for winter and may not be available every day.

The Albion Mountains are beginning to hold the snow above 7,000 feet, but park roads are currently open. 

Enjoy your visit!

Wallace Keck, Park Superintendent

Signatures (in axle grease) on Camp Rock.  

Did You Know?
Throughout the West immigrants recorded their passing by writing their names (often with axle grease) at unique places like City of Rocks. Camp Rock once contained hundreds of names. But these historic records are fast disappearing.
