Creel, Mexico: Valley of the Mushrooms; things to do

Valley of the Mushrooms/Valle de Ongos

Located in Parque Natural Barrancas del Cobre, the Valley of the Mushrooms/Valle de Ongos area is named for a group of colossal mushroom-shaped rocks found here. The rock formations where sculpted by erosion of the volcanic and sedimentary rock layers, producing some intriguing and precariously balanced rocks. It reminds me of a Salvador Dali painting.
