Less than a mile into the hike, this extraordinary monolith comes into view. This solitary tower of rock stands alone, its unique shape sparking the imagination. As you approach the imposing pillar, you can't help but see different forms within its ridges and slopes. Does it resemble a bear? A rocket ship? A human? Let your mind run free with the possibilities. Pausing to admire this singular formation makes for an inspirational highlight early on the trail.
