Description
These fantastical formations are below Helispot #122 off the Little Badger Creek Trail. Bonsai ponderosa pines have found footholds here, and there are many nooks and crannies to explore. Views extend east to the Pine Hollow Reservoir and the Deschutes river area. You can also see up to the head of the Little Badger Creek valley.
The helispot itself is an open area above the rocks. A sign for the helispot has now fallen and lies on the ground.
