Phoca Rock

Overview

Phoca Rock is a distinctive 30-foot-high pinnacle in the Broughton Reach of the Columbia River between Cape Horn on the Washington side and Bridal Veil and Dalton Point in Oregon. The rock was part of landslide caused by the Ice Age Missoula Floods that moved this large chunk of basalt into the current river channel. There is a shallow sand bar between Phoca Rock and Sand Island, in Rooster Rock State Park. The main shipping channel runs between the rock and the sheer basalt cliffs of Cape Horn .
