Camel Rock Monument

Reviewed By davidsonh2016 - Memphis, United States

Easy to spot this old boy from the interstate. Give him a good look. He deserves your attention as he strains to see all. This really should be marketed as a prelude to Tent Rocks, what has to be the most amazing formations, hidden away in the mountains. Just God sharing His Glory with His Creations.
