Wauneka Point

From Oregon Hikers Field Guide

Table Mt., Greenleaf Peak, Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams from Wauneka Point (bobcat)

Description

The open talus field of Wauneka Point offers splendid vistas to the Washington Cascades. Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier, and Mount Adams are all visible on a clear day, as are Silver Star Mountain and all the other notable peaks of the Washington Gorge.

This place is not only special for its views, however. All around you are unnatural, symmetrical “designs” in the rocks left there by unknown peoples at an unknown time. Some are in the shape of the spirit quest pits, but others are long ridges of rock that seem to be arranged in patterns. Stay a while and ponder these workings as you take in the wonderful views.

Wauneka Point bears the name of a native settlement far below on the shores of the Columbia River.
