Lore

Rocking Stone was a perfectly balanced stone whose exact origin will never be known, whether as a natural glacier formation or the work of an unknown tribe as a form of altar. Until recently, it 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. It was also the site of an overnight stop for the Olympic Torch in 1960.
