Natural Features
The sandstone cliff is known for its unique echoing auditory properties. The red vertical stripes down the otherwise horizontally stratified cliff wall are streaks of mineral varnish that provides a colorful contrast to the sandstone cliff. This colorful geological feature combined with its unusual auditory properties no doubt fed the legend of myth associated with the Echo Amphitheater

Book This Park
As a full-hookup resort, this park is built for comfort — ideal if you prefer your RV trip to feel more like a vacation. Sitting at elevation brings cooler temperatures, thinner air, and the kind of sweeping views that make the drive worthwhile. Fire pits or grills at each site make evenings around the campfire a natural end to the day.
