The Giant Rock

Giant Rock is a massive natural granite boulder located in California’s Mojave Desert, measuring about 5 stories tall and weighing around 12,000 tons. Formed over millions of years through geological processes, its smooth, rounded surface makes it a striking landscape feature. Historically, it served as a landmark for travelers and was considered sacred by Native American tribes. In the mid-20th century, it became associated with UFO enthusiasts and spiritual groups. Today, Giant Rock is a notable outdoor attraction, offering insight into natural geological formations and cultural history, while also attracting visitors interested in geology, history, and alternative spirituality.
