Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area

 

Easily visible to hikers are the unusual geological attributes of Pyramid Mountain, such as Tripod Rock, a 160-ton boulder balanced atop three smaller rocks, known as a glacial erratic. The broad mountains, flat-topped ridges, and narrow valleys of Pyramid Mountain are not only beautiful, but also vital in feeding downstream reservoirs, supplying needed aquifers, and supporting flora and fauna.
