Beehive rocks are, generally, conical or dome-shaped, naturally occurring geological formations resembling traditional, old-fashioned beehives (skeps). They are primarily formed by intense weathering and erosion of rock, most notably sandstone in Australia's Bungle Bungles or volcanic tuff in Hungary's Bükkalja, often displaying distinct, layered, or ribbed, textured surfaces.

Atlatl Rock, located in Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park, is a prominent red Aztec sandstone outcrop famous for 4,000-year-old Native American petroglyphs. A steep metal staircase leads visitors to a panel featuring carvings of atlatls (ancient spear-throwers), human figures, and animals. It is a quick, popular stop with a nearby campground.
