Twelve miles to the southeast of Deming is Rockhound State Park, and Spring Canyon. There are camping/picnicing units, a water system, a playground and sanitary facilities. Rocks and semiprecious gem stones such as quartz crystals, translucent chalcedony of white, bluish-grey, orange, and red hues are yours for the taking. And you may even find a precious gemstone for your very own. There is a beautiful Panoramic View from the highest Northeast shelter.
