Description
Yeager Rock, located on the Waterville Plateau near Mansfield, Washington, is a huge glacial erratic boulder left behind after the Cordilleran Ice Sheet retreated from northern Washington. There are many such boulders scattered around the plateau, although none quite as large as this one. Other than the erratic boulders the plateau is flat, giving it a rather eerie appearance. The rock is over seventy-five feet tall. As you can see it dwarfs my pickup parked next to it on the road.
I have placed the photograph in my Ice Age Flood Gallery, although technically it would not be related to the Ice Age Flood. However, it was the Cordilleran Ice Sheet that created the two ice dams that created the two lakes, especially the huge Glacial Lake Missoula, that caused the flood when the dam(s) broke.

Thank you, Michaela. The force that was necessary to move this monolithe is impossible to comprehend.
