EMERGENCY 911

If you have an emergency while you are at City of Rocks National Reserve and are within cell coverage, your best option is to call 911. The Cassia County Sheriff's Department handles calls for this area. If your emergency is medical or injury related, dispatch will immediately notify the Quick Response Unit (QRU) from Almo, Ambulance services from Burley, and other resources as necessary. Cassia County will also notify park staff in case of other incidents such as a lost person or fire.
