Talk:City of Rocks National Reserve

message: I question the accuracy of the following statement:
"When the trails opened in the 1840's, Granite Pass was in Mexico and less than a mile from Oregon Territory, which included the City of Rocks. After 1850 the area became part of Utah Territory, and in 1872 the Idaho-Utah boundary survey placed the City of Rocks in Idaho Territory."
The ADAMS-ONIS TREATY, http://www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/adamonis.htm, of 1819 estabilished the Southern Border of the US in the North-West to be the 42nd parallel.
It appears there are many references that place the Southern Border of the Oregon, Washington, and Idaho territories as the 42nd parallel.
The City of Rocks,is at present, North of the 42nd parallel.
Was the City of Rocks moved from the Utah Territory in 1872?
:The information about Granite Pass and Mexico was taken from the National Park website. If there is incorrect information, it needs to be addressed with them.

message: There is also a City of Rocks State park in New Mexico. According to it's web page:
:"City of Rocks State Park was established in May 1952. The park encompasses a one- square- mile area in the scenic Chihuahuan desert region of southeastern New Mexico at the elevation of 5,200 feet. The “city” is a truly geologic monument formed by large sculptured rock columns, or pinnacles, rising as high as 40 feet and separated by paths or lanes resembling city streets. These rocks were formed about 34.9 million years ago when a very large volcano erupted. Then, erosion over millions of years slowly formed the sculptured columns seen here today."
Just thought I'm mention it Joekoz451 14:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I think this article needs a separate section about rock climbing. Yes/no? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.248.1.10 (talk) 01:13, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The park service people who edit this page would just eliminate it again. --66.41.154.0 (talk) 04:30, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion: new section about climbing 

message: I would like to suggest moving this page to City of Rocks National Reserve, since that is how it's identified in the lead section and the focus of the article overall. Any objections? --McGhiever (talk) 18:00, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

message: "They grew to resent the intruders but could do little to stop them. Most emigrants on the California Trail saw no Native Americans, but some of their journals record smoke rising from high hills and the surrounding mountains."
The above statement is completely false. There was a war about this, talked about on both the Shoshone and Bannock pages that are linked in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.161.10.126 (talk) 19:31, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
