Located near the entrance to Rockhound State Park, this New Mexico Scenic Historical Marker reads as follows:
ROCKHOUND
STATE PARK
Located on the rugged slopes of the Florida Mountains, this is one of the most unusual parks in the nation. Here "rockhounds" are encouraged to take home samples (up to 15 pounds) of rocks and minerals. The park also offers camping and picnicking facilities, hiking trails and a playground.
