Rooster Rock is a well-known 180-foot pillar of Columbia River basalt located below the cliffs of Crown Point at the western end of Rooster Rock State Park. The rock was an ancient Indian place of worship and was originally called Woutoulat. This is probably the rock mentioned by Lewis & Clark as their camping place on November 2, 1805. According to Oregon Geographic Names, the modern name is of phallic significance.

Activity Notes

We will leave Portland (MMC, probably) around 6:30 or 7am, climbing by 8:30 and back to the cars by noon. We may stop for lunch on the way back to town. BCEP grads encouraged to apply. Preference will go to Teresa Redman's BCEP group, because we had to cancel this one twice, but others are welcome, too.
