I spent an hour on the internet trying to figure out what the rock I saw pictured on the front of the Valley of Fire brochure was and how to get there. First I found that it was a closely held secret place, I got the directions, then found out I could have asked in the visitors center for a map and the trail is well marked. Very, very cool place.  Here is part of the trail. Naturally marked.
