A natural glacier formation, or the work of an unknown tribe as a form of altar. It's exact origin will never be known. The perfectly balanced stone until recently would rock at the touch of a finger.

C.F. McGlashan built the original tower in 1895 and used it to display Donner Party relics and his famous butterfly collection. Site of an overnight stop for the Olympic Torch in 1960.
