This distinctive bluff towers some 400 feet, seemingly out of nowhere, and offers some moderately difficult climbing that's rewarded with breathtaking river vistas. The trailhead lies on the eastern side of the bluff. To find it, follow E 5th St out of downtown and cross below the Hwy 61 underpass.
