A visit to Skull Rock is a no brainer! 💀🧠 It began long ago when rain drops accumulated in tiny depressions and started to erode the granite. As more rock eroded, more water accumulated, leading to more erosion until, as time passed, two hollowed-out eye sockets formed and the rock began to resemble a skull. If visiting Skull Rock, make sure to park completely off the road. Watch out for deep sand and don't park on the vegetation. For the safety of you and passing vehicles, walk on the side of the road and not in the road. Look first before using the crosswalk; no zombie walking 🧟‍♀️ Image 1: Skull Rock at night against the Milky Way.
