Rooster Comb

Rooster Comb is a prominent ridge in Henry W. Coe State Park east of Morgan Hill, California, in the park’s backcountry within Stanislaus County. It is recognized as a mountain feature and is notable for the distinctive profile that gives it its name. Large rock formations run along the length of the ridge, standing apart from the grassy slopes below and creating a shape like a rooster’s comb, the fleshy red crest on a bird’s head. That striking resemblance makes Rooster Comb a memorable part of the surrounding landscape.
