    The Modoc Chief Kintpuash (aka "Captain Jack") took advantage of the rough terrain natural rock formations here to stage a defensive fortification in his effort to hold off white settlers during the Modoc Wars of 1872 and 1873.

    There is also a trail junction here that shortens the loop significantly if you do not want to complete the entire hike.
