Porpoise Rock vista, Vulcan Mountain

Perched atop Porpoise Rock looking down slope to the Kettle River approximately 800’ below. The gneissic rock offers clean, solid surfaces with numerous and variable routes. Besides the rattlesnakes I warned of in the first posting, there are bighorn sheep, golden and bald eagles, whitetail deer, and redtailed hawk just to name a few of the wildlife species to be found here. One of the delights of summer day climbing here is a refreshing dip in the river later in the afternoon.
