Geocache Description:

PairOpiles #2, flat, temp parking in turn-around area.


Venture farther east around Victoria Grove from PairOpiles and you will again be amazed by some additional unique geological structures. It appears now that there has been another uprising and exposure of metamorphic rock in sedimentary fashion taking monumental form. Interestingly enough, there are 2 more structures and both appear to have remarkable resemblance to each other. This confirms my earlier observations of the similar rock located on the plains just southwest of this location for a total of 6 outcroppings. This set of structures is located off McAllister.

If you check the strata layers carefully, you will find some unsecured rock. One section of the layering on the west face has a triangular stone worth inspecting. You will find it on the right side near the edge as you face the west panel, chest level. Unlike all the others, it doesn’t fit the typical types and to my knowledge is like PairOpiles (1) still undefined. Please be cautious in your exploration, no permits for climbing these structures are yet available. Talus slopes and loose rocks can be dangerous to hikers below.

Lastly, please be aware of the local inhabitants who tend to demonstrate possessive rights over these monuments. Take all effort to leave their rocks as you found them.
