The information boards do a good job describing how this remnant came to be. Interesting to think about thousands of years ago and what was happening in our part of the world.

Easy to fine off Hwy #18 south of McMinnville. Side road connects to it from either the North or the South of the wayside. Trail leads 1/4 mile up the hill behind the vineyard; it's a paved trail...

A beautiful way to greet the morning sunrise. This lovely short trail is very well-maintained and easy for all skill levels. It’s paved all the way up to the top, and even has garbage cans and informational signage.

I'll go, first, I'm overweight and I know it, the small hike was pretty brutal but once at the top, it was amazing. Took my vintage Polaroid camera along with me and took 2 absolutely stunning photos. I'll post them later, they are still developing at the moment, but I was amazed at the history of this beautiful rock and was surprised to find a ground squirrel living under the rock. Will come back again. 10/10 hands down.
