Located 25 miles northeast of Mojave on Hwy 14, Red Rock Canyon State Park features spectacular rock formations. The park is located where the southernmost tip of the Sierra Nevada converges with the El Paso Mountain Range. The area was once home to the Kawaiisu Indians. Petroglyphics in the El Paso Mountains are from these people. Each tributary canyon is unique with vivid colors. Wildlife includes roadrunners, hawks, lizards, mice and squirrels. The colorful rock formations in the park served as landmarks during the 1870's for the 20 mule team freight wagons. The park has been the site for a number of movies and protects significant paleontology sites and the remains of 1890's-era mining operations.
