Features

A great place to go for rock-hounding. Tons of banded agate covering the ground all over this hillside. Lots of quartz too, so many pieces are banded agate with quartz together. Mostly around 1 inch size rocks. All very colorful: reds, blues, oranges, and more. Great rocks for the rock tumbler. Also a fun place to take kids and first time rock-hounders.
